Special Features
Our program is designed to increase resident confidence and independence while developing and maturing their skills. There are no areas of weakness in our clinical training with supervision provided by a diverse group of attendings which will help prepare the resident for the next phase of their careers. Maintaining a balance between resident personal and professional aspirations is one of our priorities because resident quality of life is not secondary to the demands of residency.
