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.
