The year 1 experience includes the eleven 4-week blocks divided between the following clinical inpatient experiences: Hospital Medicine Wards, Cardiology, Critical Care Medicine, Infectious Disease, the Clinical Decision-Making Unit (CDU) and Nightfloat. Additionally, each resident receives training in neurology and is afforded an elective block.
PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents rotate through the required subspecialties of Internal Medicine. These training years allow for considerable elective time within outpatient rotations; schedules can be tailored according to career goals. In-house call for those 2 years averages approximately 1 in 7; post-call days are always free from all clinical care responsibilities.
