Meet our Residents!
Work-Life Balance
We work hard, we play hard! Our work week averages 50-60 hours with one weekend call a month, leaving us with plenty of time to enjoy life. We are parents, dog owners, dancers, triathletes, foodies, published authors, and national society office members.
Thank you for your interest in our program. We hope to meet you soon! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
