Our curriculum is focused on providing a complete, well-rounded experience for you as a resident – including training at university, county, and Veteran's Affairs hospital settings. Education is our priority, including all-resident weekly didactics with protected time from clinical duties and dedicated research blocks.

The curriculum is developed with partnership between faculty and residents. We make significant changes based on resident feedback because we believe residents should participate in crafting a better educational experience.
