The insert in the back of this brochure contains the details of the clinical rotations. The second year is designed to provide experiences in the supervision of interns and students, and broader clinical experiences in primary and consultative medicine. House officers spend six to seven months on inpatient rotations in general internal medicine, cardiology, and critical care medicine. The remainder of the year is spent in ambulatory block and subspecialty rotations. The third year of training is designed to provide mastery of the academic and clinical skills necessary to become a board certified internist.
Clinical experiences emphasize ambulatory training.
In general, house officers spend four to five months on inpatient wards. Outpatient rotations in endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology and rheumatology round out the resident's experience in subspecialty ambulatory medicine. Fellowships and Advanced Training Subspecialty fellowships are available in cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonary and critical care medicine and rheumatology. In addition, four Chief Medical Residents are appointed each year. The Preliminary Program in Internal Medicine Preliminary interns take part in the same curriculum and develop a solid base of internal medicine knowledge before entering their chosen specialty.
