​
-1 Resident to 1 Attending model builds strong relationships and allows for ample time for teaching and oversight.
​
-All cases are open to all levels of residents, no matter the acuity.
​
-A supportive and safe environment using progressive supervision moves residents towards independent practice while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
