UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM
Transitional residents have a broad exposure on all services and interact with senior residents and faculty. They are the first to see the patient and participate in the management and procedures for all patients. Our training program is a hands-on type of program. There is quality supervision and teaching on all services. Each resident also has teaching opportunities and typically works one on one with a third or fourth year medical student.
