Special Features
Best of both worlds! Predominantly community-hospital based, but when University-based rotations makes sense we have that resource. Medically underserved patient population, with collaboration from psychologists, psychiatry, pharmacist, and diabetologist. Faculty have particular interests in Osteopathic Medicine, Obesity Medicine, Women's Health (including OB), Sports Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine. Overall a low-OB volume residency, but opportunities exist for high-volume OB experiences.
