Fulltime faculty preceptors from each department supervise these clinics. Residents are encouraged to recruit patients into their continuity clinics throughout their training. Flexibility is built into the continuity clinic schedule especially during critical care rotations. In addition, rotations in pediatric cardiology, adolescent medicine, geriatrics, and nephrology are completed along with the first supervisory adult inpatient ward rotations. A total of four elective rotations are also completed during these years.
Flexibility is key, and combined electives in medicine and pediatrics subspecialties are available.
The PGY-4 year is largely supervisory especially on the pediatric wards, adult ICU, and adult inpatient wards. Several electives, a second month of adult cardiology, and experiences in the pediatric ER, urgent care and ambulatory clinics round out the residents training. Residents are encouraged to participate in individual research projects throughout their residency. The program is committed to advocacy, education, improving communication, and research related to the practice and training of physicians in combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. We will challenge you to achieve your full professional potential.
