Special Features
Our patient population contains both bread and butter as well as complex patients. Residents rotate in local community hospitals as well and get a myriad of different types of cases. Our case numbers are well above the minimum requirements. We also offer residents the opportunity to do national and even international (approved) electives. We also have a very successful community outreach program where residents educate and motivate middle school students to consider medical careers.
