percent of their medical school classes, although individuals with
unusually strong recommendations or other special qualifications do
receive consideration.
The track record of our residents after completing their training
has been exceptional. Many have accepted prestigious fellowship
positions or academic faculty positions while others have established
highly successful private practices.
