In year three, residents supervise the inpatient medical teams at Bellevue and Tisch, including intensive care. In the ambulatory care rotations, PL-3s supervise clinics and daily conferences. Teaching is a key part of the year. As in years one and two, continuity clinic is attended weekly, and there is a night float block. All residents have four weeks of vacation annually.
Research projects are strongly encouraged and supported by the department.
