PGY-3

The PGY3 outpatient clinic year schedule is developed on residents' preference. Rather than changing to a different clinic each month, our residents  rotate through the same 4-5 clinics every week for the entire year, allowing residents to have the opportunity to get true continuity and ownership of their patients.
