WHERE YOU'LL PRACTICE

North Adams sits in the northern Berkshires, where small-city charm meets big-outdoors living.

Catch world-class contemporary art at MASS MoCA, enjoy the independent restaurants and breweries downtown, and feel the energy of a college-town region with Williams College and MCLA right in your backyard. It is a place where you can build a life outside the operatory as rich as the career you build inside it.
