Significant time is spent on subspecialty rotations while changing the emphasis of the continuity experience from the inpatient to the outpatient environment. Rotations include cardiac care, intensive care, gastroenterology, endocrinology, geriatrics, pulmonary, nephrology, hematology, and oncology. The emphasis during the last year is on consolidation of each resident's knowledge base. In addition to the continuity experience, which emphasizes outpatient practice, senior residents assume the role of ward supervisor and teacher for medical students and first year residents. The senior resident is responsible to the ward attending for the organization of the medical wards and conduct of teaching rounds.
