During your first year of residency, you’ll spend two days at a community occupational medicine clinic, a half day at the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, a half day with one of our Diabetes Educators, half a day at Bestself Behavioral Health and a half day at the Family Justice Center.

You can expect to spend an evening working at the Lighthouse Free Medical Clinic during your second and third years of residency. The clinic, which is run by medical students, provides free health care to uninsured and underserved patients.
