There are 5-8 interns in each group. Interns choose, in cooperation with the rest of the group, two areas in which to work. Additional housing options are available. Food is available from the hospital cafeteria, area fast food restaurants, and a local market. Since on-campus parking is costly and restricted, a car can be challenging to manage while living in the dormitory.
Public transportation is available.
