History
The Department of Surgery dates from the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in 1854, when Dr. James Sampson was appointed the first Professor of Clinical Medicine and Surgery. Today, the Department consists of eight separate surgical divisions: Cardiac, General, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Plastics, Thoracic, Vascular and Maxillofacial. The Department has 32 full-time faculty plus numerous adjuncts and is accredited for the subspeciality resident training hospitals: the Kingston General Hospital and the Hotel Dieu Hospital. Faculty and residents provide tertiary care for patients at these hospitals, as well as being involved in a variety of research endeavours in surgery. The main office of the Department is located in Kingston General Hospital.
