Surgery Commitment

The mission of the Department of Surgery is to enable surgical faculty and trainees reach their highest professional and academic potential while serving the LLUH mission to make all persons whole. Our vision is to create global surgical leaders in whole person care, education, and research. The Department of Surgery Commitment is a grassroots initiative led by surgery faculty to embed and uphold the Loma Linda values of Compassion, Excellence, Humility, Integrity, Justice, Teamwork, and Wholeness as guiding principles in recruitment, retention, and professional development of our faculty and trainees. Our Commitment extends across the entire Department of Surgery from faculty to learners of all levels.
