The importance of resident autonomy is one of the most valued aspects of our program. As residents advance through their training, they are given more autonomy, which is why our graduates thrive in both fellowships and hospitalist positions. Upon graduation, our residents are confident in their clinical and decision-making skills, even with the most critically ill patients.
