Values Statement

Patient-centered care is the hallmark of this fellowship program.  It is the responsibility of every team member to provide patients with compassion and professionalism while adhering to science-based practices and guidelines.

This program recognizes the importance of clinician-educators and the need for fellows, as they advance in their level of training, to make educating residents and others a core aspect of their year.  Teaching, both in the didactic setting and more informally on rounds and clinic, is a cornerstone of the transition from supervised to independent practice.

Our program emphasizes a team approach with close interaction among attending physicians, fellows, residents, and other health care professionals. We highly value our culture of safety, wherein anyone can feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or raise concerns without fear of reprisal.
