Resident Spotlight
I think comradery is an integral part of a strong residency program and you will find that here.
- Nathan Redlich MD, PGY-5
Understanding that surgery is very difficult, means you aren't going to be good at it right away, no one is. It takes repitition through observation, followed by learning step by step. Staying humble, keeping motivated, and giving yourself grace are the keys to success.
- Daniel Gelvez MD, PGY-4
The program has early hands-on training and graduating residents were prepared for the OR with the skills to problem solve in situations outside their comfort zone.
- Katelynn Donnelly MD, PGY-2
The program has allowed me to work with a diverse population of people giving me a wide range of new experiences
- Yamilet Gonzalez MD, PGY-1
