CURRICULUM
We strive to offer a challenging curriculum that balances both inpatient and outpatient medicine. Ample elective time is available to allow the resident to customize his or her experiences.
Resident Curriculum
Each academic year is divided into 13 4-week rotations. The last afternoon of each rotation is reserved for the End-of-Rotation Conference to allow resident feedback so that we can continually improve our program.
