Education

This fellowship offers exposure to an extremely broad spectrum of patients in a variety of health care settings. Patients are seen in a primary care setting in the outpatient clinic, in a referral mode as outpatients, and in a consultative capacity on the medicine, pediatric, surgical, psychiatric wards, and intensive care units. For further information, see "facilities and resources" in the curriculum.
