Shared Residency

You may share residency with another resident. Many of our residents have done this so they have more family time. The schedule is a month on, a month off, for you to get all of the training needed for a successful residency. We are one of the few programs in the country to offer these positions. This flexibility is designed to make your life as a resident easier.
