Wvu transitional year residency program

We treat many patients with unusual and complex disorders referred to WVU by doctors throughout West Virginia and the neighboring states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. In addition, under the supervision of our own WVU faculty, our residents also provide the medical and surgical care of patients at our VA.

We feel Morgantown and WVU are special places for many people, and with supportive, full-time board-certified faculty in all clinical subspeciality areas under one roof, we hope it will be a transformative training experience for you as well. In addition to our facilities and educational experience, residents can Fall in Love with Morgantown and see what life here is like.

WVU is my home. Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. Duration: Ophthalmology Residency at West Virginia University. There is a national concern regarding the increasing competitiveness for medical students in finding a residency position leaving medical schools with unmatched graduating students.

This is happening nationwide and most critically and importantly in our very own state of Arkansas and with our own medical students. In a state with currently one allopathic medical school and whose goal is to train physicians to stay here and serve the citizens of our state, having students that graduate and do not have a place to train is problematic.

Therefore, a goal of the Transitional Year Residency Education Program of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences UAMS is to provide a year of a broad based and well balanced clinical curriculum as a possible opportunity for unmatched individuals to continue their training in preparation for a desired specialty or as an opportunity for those individuals who desire an additional year to assist them in making a career choice or specialty selection decision. This philosophical principle is implemented by the selection of residents who have exhibited professionalism and who remain enthusiastic about their primary identity as physicians.

All aspects of the educational program maintain the orientation that, as a physician, one accepts the responsibility with appropriate referral and consultation of the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Consistent with the overall goal and philosophical orientation of the program is the need to provide specific educational experiences to residents who will have varying roles in the field of medicine.
