As part of their
Community Medicine rotation, residents can expect an
introduction to the various community agencies, and
the rotation is capped by the ultimate experience in
community/occupational medicine--a tour of an
underground coal mine! Residents journey four miles underground to develop a
greater appreciation of the occupational stresses
faced by the underground coal miner. |

Medical Center hosts a dinner in honor of our
