We’re Stronger Together
With your help, we can make ambitious innovations in clinical care and education for our community.
Our curriculum provides exposure to a diverse patient population in a wide variety of settings. It also prepares you for future responsibilities, including supervision of other physicians.
Curriculum Highlights
The curriculum is based on an X+Y system. “X” refers to the inpatient rotations, and “Y” refers to designated ambulatory blocks. Every 6 weeks, residents have continuity clinic scheduled which allows for continuity with patients.
Curriculum by Year
Your first year aims to transition you from medical student to clinically skilled physician. Your training is facilitated by a collaborative and supportive learning environment across all academic settings.
During your second year, you’ll hone inpatient medicine skills and broaden clinical competence in primary and consultative medicine.
Your third year provides time for mastery of the academic and clinical skills necessary to become a board-certified internist.
This one-year program provides a solid foundation for further training. Although schedules vary slightly, preliminary program residents are otherwise indistinguishable from categorical residents and enjoy the same benefits and responsibilities.
