The program includes six milestone classes throughout the year, focusing on topics such as networking, quality improvement, clinical judgment, time management, delegation, ethics, feedback, career development, and evidence-based practice. Additionally, residents receive specialty clinical training in areas like Cardiac Rhythm Interpretation, Basic Arrest Management, ED and Neuro Core, OB Core, NIH Stroke Scale, and Vascular Access Excellence.
