UMMS RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP APPLICANT INFORMATION
 |
" Having graduated from UMass Medical School, I was very familiar with its clinical environment. The faculty are very supportive, the atmosphere is welcoming and there’s a real emphasis on educating the residents. I was also interested in primary care and knew of the Medical School’s strength in this area.
When I completed my residency, I was also very impressed with the efficiency and support that I received from the Office of Graduate Medical Education. They not only provided me with the interviewing skills necessary to obtain a good position, but also took the time to go over the contract with me once I was accepted into a practice. " |
