Message From Chief Residents, Nicole Cowley, D.O. & Christopher Hoang, D.O.:

We are honored to have been selected as Chief Residents for the Academic Year 2012/2013. It is a privilege to lead and to serve as advocates for such a great group of Residents. We are continuously making improvement to our program. Not only do we have a revised curriculum for the Residents, but we also have a new curriculum for Medical Students who rotate on our service that provides Residents with an opportunity to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired in the Masters of Science in Medical Education Program. We anticipate a great learning experience in medicine, administration, and leadership. we look forward to working with all other members of the health care team to provide the best possible care for our patients.
