Through direct observation and supervision of patient care by faculty, the residents gain the skills necessary to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team in the practice of evidence-based medicine. With increasing independence, the residents learn to lead their multidisciplinary teams to improve outcomes in primary and subspecialty patient care. Participation in Scholarly Activity (Research and Quality Improvement) is compulsory and occurs during all three years of training.
