Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
The urology residents were fabulous. They were happy to have a medical student on the team, and all of them were welcoming and enjoyed teaching. The attendings had a variable level of interest in teaching. Most time with the team is spent in the OR, although you can arrange to go to clinic or spend time on the floors. |
