Penn State Milton S Hershey Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our program offers an enormous case-to-fellow ratio (tons of cases, but only 1-2 fellows), and immense flexibility with daily schedules and rotation schedules. We stress education over service (for example, we have no weekday call requirement). Our fellows choose their preferred cases/rooms each day, and are integral to the design of their own education.
