Special Features
Our goal is a residency environment where residents feel respected, and their educational goals and objectives are as important to the faculty as excellent clinical care. Our protected didactics, busy surgical services, subspecialty faculty, and ambulatory clinic are all aspects of our residency that make us a strong program, but the big hospital with a small town feel contributes to the sense of community that makes our residents feel nurtured and valued.
