Curriculum
Internal Medicine Residency Program
Curriculum
The structured three-year program includes both required and elective rotations, which ensure consistency of training while allowing for individual growth in all areas of their interests and weaknesses. Each resident’s training time is allocated to meet the American Board of Internal Medicine requirements over the thirty-six-month program. Bolded rotations allow for up to 5 days of vacation from these rotations with a maximum of 16 days of vacation, 3 Sick days and 6 Holidays each academic year. Rotations in bold are considered Jeopardy rotations. Jeopardy rotations come into play when there is an increased need for coverage on the service or shortages caused by resident illness.

Longitudinal Curriculum
Continuity Clinic (across the continuum of residency)
Residents will spend time each week throughout the residency, seeing patients in one of our continuity clinics. Residents spend at least one (1) half day of clinic each week during most rotations.
Didactics (across the continuum of residency)
Residents are provided with protected time to participate in our education block. Didactics incorporate the breadth of internal medicine as well as the business of medicine and self-care. Sessions are dynamic and interactive.
Orientation
We provide a multidisciplinary well-rounded orientation which includes time at an off-campus simulation lab and an outpatient clinic evaluation. This prepares you for procedures and clinical skills that are required during residency.
