Our Residents, In Their Own Words

Our residents are one of the best things about our program. They are collegial, supportive and kind—the type of people you want to work with now and know for a lifetime.

In the videos below, get to know a little about them and why they love training here.

You can also meet the members of each class and find out their training track, where they went to medical school, and their hometown. You may have something in common!
