Residents assume full care, with on-site supervision, including hospitalization when necessary.
A large patient load ensures a quality, well-rounded education. Although a baseline of quality specialty training is provided, the residents are allowed flexibility in selection of those areas where they feel a need for further training. Other special training includes flexible sigmoidoscopy, colposcopy and cryotherapy, dermatolgy and osteopathic manipulative therapy. With SCH s many other residency programs, an added benefit is the communication created between residents, allowing for even further training and for improvement in referral methods and practices.
