This residency is fortunate to be in a medical community which provides a full range of medical care and is very supportive of the residency. There are no other residencies in town. The community has a low cost of living and is small enough to be friendly, but large enough to meet our residents' needs. Faculty and staff are supportive and caring. In summary, the atmosphere is right for learning.
