Every 2nd and 3rd-year resident attends a sub-specialty clinic 2 afternoons/month during outpatient rotations. Each individual resident chooses their clinic based on their individual interest.  Every pediatric sub-specialty clinic is available, in addition, residents have chosen to do individual mentored research, or work with hospice.
