Our program provides exposure to veterans, and rural & urban populations. We are a strong clinical program with all major fellowship options. We have a robust teaching curriculum that includes a weekly Academic Half Day, monthly Simulation Lab experiences, and both an inpatient and ambulatory curriculum in addition to the half-day. Our residents do get plenty of opportunities of teaching medical students. We provide subscription to U-world, Yale curriculum, and MKSAP.
