Outcome of our RRC visit August 2006 |

Our recent visit from the RRC in August 2006 resulted in the RRC, at their October meeting, granting our program an increase in resident complement. Due to the high quality of our residents' educational experience, we are now at six residents per year. This increase has allowed our residents to receive more office and patient follow-up experience adding to their extensive operative experience. |
