Seeking Patient Care?
Rotations
The academic year is divided into six block rotations, during which each resident works solely with one attending physician. This schedule allows residents exposure to various disease sites multiple times during their residency. Faculty expectations are aligned with each resident's level of training. Residents are required to attend tumor boards and conferences with their attending.
Additionally, there is a unique rotation with the Chairman and Vice Chairman/Program Director that provides direct mentorship to help residents shape their careers.
