The curriculum of the University of Massachusetts was approved by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics in 1997. Many of the ambulatory and primary care experiences combine both internal medicine and pediatrics exposure. The academic year is divided into 13 four week rotations which are evenly divided between medicine and pediatrics. 2 weeks of vacation are taken from the department in which the resident rotates for seven blocks of that year plus 1 week from the other department, for a total of 3 weeks plus holiday break.
Many rotations allow additional time in the continuity practice.
