Special Features
Our program offers a clinically intensive experience supported by a large, diverse patient population & full-time faculty in all sub-specialties. Resident driven clinics at a large university based tertiary medical center and a busy VA Hospital continue to provide high-surgical volume & broad clinical exposure. Residents leave our program fully competent to practice independently or pursue a fellowship of their choice. Our department exists for our residents, not the other way around.
