Traditional Curriculum
The traditional curriculum, our most popular, is designed to prepare the resident for the challenges of practice in a variety of settings. The key to excellent resident education is direct patient management. Our philosophy is to allow residents to manage patients under the guidance of experienced physicians. The core clinical rotations of adult medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics will provide plentiful and varied experience such that our graduates are very comfortable managing the most challenging patients.
