EDUCATION
- Offer innovative weekly didactics in an engaging and positive learning environment, encompassing a variety of formats including faculty lectures, resident presentations, small group discussions, and simulation cases.

- Encourage resident involvement in operations, administration, technology, advocacy, ethics, and quality as part of our curriculum.
PROGRAM
- Remain a dynamic residency through transparent bi-directional feedback mechanisms where residents are involved in strategic planning and curriculum development.
- Participate in medical education by offering a robust undergraduate student clerkship and expanding our platform to include multidisciplinary learners such as nursing students, PA students and post-graduate fellowships.
