I'm delighted to welcome you to the First  Department of Surgery UOAMS  website. I invite you to peruse the many facets of our Department described in this site - including details about our faculty, the nature and scope of our facilities and surgical procedures.

The First Department of Surgery at the University of Athens Medical School offers a six-year program in General Surgery and a seven-year in Vascular Surgery  which combines in-depth exposure to all of the major areas of  surgery, a structured educational series, and experience in basic surgical research. The program has been designed to prepare the resident for a career in clinical practice, academic surgery, or for advanced training in general and vascular surgery.

We are dedicated to surgical education of the highest order. The goal of this department is to see that each individual achieves the highest personal potential. The quality of any endeavor depends upon the quality of the people participating. In a surgical training program this means the faculty and the individuals in training. Our faculty are outstanding and we want to attract the finest residents in the country, as we train surgeons for the 21st century. 

We are committed to outstanding patient care, education and research. Although many changes are occurring rapidly and will continue, we will help you meet the challenges and realize opportunities. We are enthusiastic about our program and welcome your interest in it.

Dear friends and colleagues this website was made mainly for you.I would be happy to hear any comments you might have concerning our department, and I hope you will be stimulated to visit us often. We promise to keep these pages current.
