Special Features
We are an unopposed residency with a family like atmosphere, offering one on one teaching. At the same time, we have big university support for research, fellowships, and curriculum. Our hospital has patients with a wide range of pathology, and our residents have excellent exposure to critical care/ICU. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities for procedures. Finally, our residency has good balance of education and service and prioritizes resident well being.
