The internship year provides ward experience divided equally between the Stanford University and VA hospitals. In addition, all interns rotate for two months at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Rotations include general medicine, cardiology, oncology, geriatric and emergency room medicine, as well as a hospitalist rotation and outpatient responsibilities.
Most interns receive outpatient block clinic experiences in addition to their continuity clinic.
There is extensive exposure to ICU and CCU medicine. The junior residency provides increased responsibility on the wards, the outpatient clinic, and subspecialty rotations. You will be the resident team leader on the ward rotations. Because of their increased teaching responsibility, all second-year residents participate in the Stanford Teaching Improvement Seminars. Please see the section on Primary Care for a list of the available ambulatory block rotations.
