From Our Residents
"There is such a variety of cases to see in our patient population. The attendings are passionate about their work and therefore are excellent instructors to those willing to listen. The attendings involve the resident in the cases so residents get maximum hands on experience.”— Cassandra Eakin, DO, PGY4
"This is a fantastic residency program that will start you on the track to becoming a fantastic surgeon from the first day you walk onto the Labor and Delivery floor. The volume of surgery to which we are exposed will adequately prepare you for life as an attending physician." - Jennifer Hummel, DO, PGY5
"Our attendings emphasize a strong patient-physician relationship and allow us to take part in surgeries that first year residents from other programs do not take part in until their second year and beyond. Also, some of the most amazing surgeries in obstetrics and uro-gynecology are performed here, something you won’t be able to see anywhere else!”— Virginia Chan, DO, PGY3
