Special Features
Our program provides training across the scope of our specialty. Our graduates have a tradition of obtaining top notch fellowships, and pursuing both academic and private practice careers. Residents work primarily at a single academic campus with a freestanding adult and children's hospital. Call during the PGY2-5 years is from home. Beyond the excellent clinical training, we provide great research opportunities, and have a new research year for those interested in a 6-year research track.
