Current Housestaff
Our current housestaff originate from all geographical areas of the United States and beyond. We average 99 housestaff per year (33 per class).
During a resident's 2nd and 3rd years they can choose to participate in the Primary Care Track or Global Health Track (or both). Residents may "track" in and out of primary care and global health if their desired career pathway changes.
