Training in a culture of excellence
The University of Rochester's motto is "Meliora," which means "Ever Better." Our Clinical Fellowship program embodies this ethic in fostering the academic and clinical development of trainees. Our faculty are excited to teach and to work together with our fellows to provide excellent patient care and engage in clinical and basic science research projects. Our aim is to create an environment of continual learning regardless of level of training. We are committed to continuous improvement, and seek feedback from our trainees in order to optimize their fellowship experience.
