The program emphasizes evidence-based medicine, patient-centered care, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The program fosters a supportive learning environment, promoting wellness and work-life balance. Graduates of the program are well-prepared for careers in academic medicine, subspecialty training, and leadership roles within the military and civilian healthcare systems.
