Summa Health System/NEOMED Program
About This Program
Some of the unique qualities of our program that sets it apart from other programs start with our people. The faculty the fellows engage with are diverse and are willing teachers who are looking to get the best out of the fellow. We also have an away winter-sports rotation with a former graduate in Durango, Colorado which is very unique for a program in the mid-west.
