As your first formal introduction to post
graduate education, our goal is to develop professional skills that
sharpen your medical knowledge, refine your patient communication
skills and, continually strengthen your rapport with your peers. Your first year of training will follow required curriculums yet
allow flexibility for individuals to pursue areas of special interest.
For
the first time in your medical career you will be playing the dual role
of physician and teacher. Under the direction of an Attending, you assume the daily care of patients. Decisions on medical
care, and the administrative duties associated with patient care are
now your responsibility. With medical students under your tutelage you
have direct impact on the skills they develop.
Residency goals are realized by utilizing a variety of
teaching methods and settings to maximize your education in each
rotation area while enabling individuals to set their own pace for
learning.
