• S/he also has the opportunity to explore new areas or to continue their work in an area of known interest through elective rotations.
• S/he takes on a greater teaching and mentorship role with junior residents.
• For residents with a foundation of outstanding clinical skills, concentrated teaching and administrative opportunities may be arranged, including Senior Teaching Resident and Administrative Chief Resident.
