Penn State Milton S Hershey Medical Center Program
About This Program
We have a large population of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) patients in nearby Lancaster. Fellows' outpatient rotations are all at a single clinic site. Inpatient consult rotations are done in a single hospital. Not having to cover multiple different sites makes for an easier and less stressful work environment. The Hershey area is a great place to live, especially if one has small children, with the friendly vibe of a small town but easy access to large metropolitan areas.
