Faculty members provide an important bridge allowing residents to grow and become practice-ready, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.

Faculty members ensure that patients receive the level of care expected from a specialist in the field. They recognize and respond to the needs of the patients, residents, community, and institution.
