We are so proud of our residents!
By the time our residents interview for fellowships or private practice positions, they are prepared to impress future instructors, mentors, and colleagues with an excellent fund of knowledge, excellent comprehensive and subspecialty clinical and surgical experience, and an excellent portfolio of accomplishments in research, customer satisfaction, process improvement, humanitarianism, and program and national examinations. Our residents’ Written and Oral Board Exam pass rate is well above the national average, and they have succeeded in matching into top fellowships or joining their preferred practices all over the country.
