30 percent of our residency training takes place within the Veterans' Administration system and 70 percent in the Intermountain Healthcare and MountainStar Networks, as well as in the private practice world. Outside of the VA Hospital, we scrub cases in more than 25 hospitals and surgery centers with more than 65 attendings. This combination provides a well-rounded education, joining those things that are unique to the VA with those found only in the private sector. Residents can easily accumulate their required surgical numbers midway through their second year.
