As a smaller centre, here you are your name, not a student number.   We welcome diversity among our trainees, and seek to foster an environment that is welcoming to all, regardless of gender identity, race, religion, or sexual orientation.  We treat each other with respect, dignity and work well together.  We are here to help you grow into the Physiatrist you’ve dreamed of!
