Program highlights

- Practice management rotation: PGY3s attend ethics, credentialing and QI committees and meet the CEO/COO/CNO/CFO; ask how graduates use this in leadership roles.
- Procedural simulation lab during didactics (central lines, LPs, vaginal delivery); ask about how procedure competency is tracked.
