About This Program
Our program provides an intimate training environment within a large academic university system that employs continuous mentorship in research and personal development. All trainees receive training in medical education and have dedicated research time. There is a strong emphasis to balance outpatient clinical training with inpatient training. Residents also have a half-day blocked education time on Friday afternoons where they have no clinical duties.
