non shomer shabbos surgical residency

I do not believe that there is an official shomrei Shabbos surgical residency in the US although you should try the grapevine for unofficial posts that may allow you to have Shabbos off (talk to surgical residents). Otherwise I know of no way you can take an ordinary residency without having to mechallel Shabbos many many times each Shabbos you are on – writing, lights, endoscopies, suturing, operating etc etc most of which will have nothing to do with pikuach nefesh!

Please, please do not take non-shomrei Shabbos residency. Write to Dr Eisenberg in Phili – maybe he can help eisenber@pol.net
