Past
resident recommendations: The teaching is good from Walt Dorman and Archie
Skemp although it is focused on the new patients seen in clinic and hospital
consults. Hospital consults occur a few times per week and you leave clinic to
see them. If you will be staffing with Dr. Dorman expect to leave the hospital
late.
