Guiding Principles 

Our program attracts residents from various different backgrounds who have versatile experiences to share. We acknowledge the significant impact physicians play in effecting change local and abroad. Thus, we are committed to ensure trainees build on their prior experiences in order to enhance their individual journeys.  

Graduates will be equipped to enter the workforce with strong foundations in medical knowledge and skills, geared to continue leading in their individual passions as advocates, educators, and investigators.

Every patient encounter is an opportunity to challenge assumptions, recognize the social forces influencing health, and approach care with humility, ensuring each patient receives the attention and respect they deserve. Our goal is to deliver exceptional care to every patient consistently, ensuring a lasting and meaningful impact. Our residents and alumni remain committed to collaboration, advocacy, and leadership—fostering strong relationships and driving systemic change to address the complex interplay between healthcare and the broader social landscape.

Our program intentionally supports trainees through the rigorous training set forth in a large, multi-faceted, urban medical center by prioritizing balance between academics and individual wellness. We support each other. We recognize that we are humans caring for other humans, which serves as the common denominator that drives compassionate, patient-centered care.
