Special Features
Short commute time equals more time for everything else. More time to learn, explore, work out and spend with family/friends. The "Resident as Educators" program nurtures skills for those considering an academic career or wanting to be prepared to educate patients and colleagues. A gym next to your parking lot reminds you to work out before going home. Run home for dinner while waiting for that call case. We all need more time. Spend it studying or with friends, not in your car. #10MinuteCommute
