Our residents rotate at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, VA Hospital, Good Samaritan and St Claire Regional. This provides our residents with the university experience as well as community and rural exposure. Our residents have the opportunity to perform research for one or two years after their third year of clinical training. This experience may be obtained in one of our many funded labs at the university or at another facility. Residents are exposed to a complex pathology.
