    Program Description

    Our program is a university-based program that utilizes other specialty programs withing the University during the first year of residency. During the second and third year of training, the program becomes more community oriented with the majority of rotations occurring one-on-one with community physicians. For those with an interest in Geriatrics or Sports Medicine we offer the opportunity to tailor electives within those programs.
