Our Residents


 

A vibrant, diverse, and fun-loving group, our residents constitute the strongest selling point of our program. While most have strong ties to Philadelphia (native to Philly or attended local medical schools), many of us are completely new to the area. Residents who do well here are positive, curious, hard working, and enthusiastic team players. When you arrive here for your interview, you'll see (and feel) a generalized sense of happiness that is pervasive amongst the residents, even during the busy winter months.
