OVS Residency Program
Rotations
- 2022-2023 Resident Block Rotation Schedules

Our away rotations are designed to enhance clinical and surgical skills in unique environments, and our residents leave each away rotation greatly enriched by their time with nationally-renowned members of their respective fields and exposure to very diverse patient populations spread out across several very distinct clinical environments. With combined NIH funding grants in excess of $200 million, residents also have multiple opportunities to engage in meaningful, high-impact research. The program provides fully funded housing at each away rotation, and our residents express great excitement regarding the unique experiences and opportunities they received at each location.
