Program Details

The Faculty

You will find our faculty is very dedicated to teaching. With a strong D.O. program in place for over half a century, you will find a complementary mix of old school and new school. You will work with full time attendings as well as faculty at two additional hospitals in the area. Learning experiences with private patients provides point of contact decision making opportunities. We intend to offer a continuous and broad range of learning situations, didactic, mentoring, and formalized teaching. At some point we’re sure you’ll find yourself in an impromptu discussion with faculty members over a cup of coffee.

The Library

Our in-house library offers all the necessary materials for reference and specialty enhancement studies. You’ll also find 24 hour internet access in the Library. The Library is part of the DocLine System, making article retrieval fast with many participating libraries on a reciprocal arrangement. Journal collections are maintained for several years and are readily available in the library. Our staffed library plays an active role in your education.

The library is available 24 hours and staffed Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
