Balance - Education - Commitment
Several
of the faculty physicians are board certified in at least two
specialties, and each brings unique strengths and interests
to the program. As you'll see in the following biographies,
the scope of faculty interests outside of medicine is truly
global, but our priorities center around our families. Life
in Marquette is about balance, and we strive to structure the
residency program so that our residents receive excellent education
and achieve a semblance of balance as well.
The faculty
meets weekly to discuss the operations and plans for the program,
with the chief residents helping to make this a time for honest
exchange of ideas, sharing and growth. Faculty retreats serve
to maintain the sense of shared purpose in setting long-range
goals. The faculty, individually and collectively, have made
a commitment to the program and community.
