Chief Residents

Our Chief Residents are nominated by their peers and selected by the program faculty from the ranks of the rising PGY3 class. In their final year of residency, these individuals serve equally important roles as advocates, liaisons, counselors, educators, and guides. They are integral to the continued development of the residency, proposing and implementing innovative programs to cultivate the unique skills of each of their resident colleagues.
