Transitional Year Residency Program

Our transitional year program is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our patient care, and in how we support each other within our profession.

Erik Riesenfeld, MD

Welcome from the Program Director

Bassett’s Transitional Year Residency Program will provide residents with comprehensive, broad-based clinical experience in an atmosphere of high academic standards and closely personalized training. Since Bassett's earliest history in the 1920s, educating physicians has been a central force in the organization's evolution and Bassett's mission has always included education, patient care, and research.
