Resident Representatives
Our residents excel as leaders and their involvement is crucial to the success of our program.
Our leadership structure includes three senior residents who serve as the Resident Representatives. These peer-elected residents sit on a variety of committees, playing an important role in building the culture of our program, spearheading new projects, addressing real-time resident concerns, and contributing to long-term strategic planning for program growth and improvement.
