I found a bit of information out on the residency program with Touro and the Benefis Hospital today. Turns out they don't even have a residency program yet and replied back to me with:
"Benefis is working on developing a residency program, and there are other hospitals in the state that are following suit.
By (4-5 years) there will be lots of opportunities. Students can also leave the state for electives and find a rotation site with a residency program.
As a requirement of the fourth year, students must rotate to a site with a residency program. Many students use this as an opportunity to interview for a residency slot."
This seems a little unprepared to me, hmmm.
