Extramural Medical Education

In order to maintain high quality medical care, physicians must be engaged in continuous medical education. The Residency Program Director must help residents develop mature, self-directed learning habits and an ability to evaluate their own educational strengths and needs. No matter what the resident's personal and professional goals may be, setting aside time for study and professional development, is a priority. The development of a commitment to ongoing education during the residency is essential to maintaining successful high quality practice after graduation.
