How would you describe your program?
Our program is comprised of an excellent group of track interns and residents. We are part of a supportive environment including our hospital, our Medical Education Department, and a variety of attending physicians of all acumen and specialties. We have a busy Community Care Center location that fulfills your Continuity of Care requirements. We also offer strong didactic and inpatient programs to you. Our program is large enough to offer you curricular diversity and small enough to offer you individual attention.

Personal Philosophy:
As the face of medicine changes, it is my duty to ensure that the education of our Family Practice Residents includes not only the latest information in patient care, but also the latest information in practice management. I welcome diversity among our residents and encourage rotations that offer multi-cultural perspectives.
