The traditional, Independent model which requires 2-3 years of additional training beyond at least 3 years of Gen Surg residency or an Ortho residency
The newer, Integrated model matches students at PGY1 level for either a 3+3, 3+2 or 4+2 residency combined with General Surgery. These programs are highly competitive and difficult to get into (but some of us still try!).
Hope this helps.

That is a good site with lots of links. However, keep in mind that the program database hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years, so you would be well advised to check with individual programs about what they offer. Even FREIDA isn't up to date.
