Clinical Experience

Our clinical curriculum is designed to evolve with each resident, beginning with a strong foundation in core internal medicine and balanced exposure to both inpatient and ambulatory care. As residents progress through training, they gain increasing autonomy and flexibility to individualize their experiences based on their interests and long-term career goals.

Rotation Structure

Our program utilizes a two-week block rotation model while maintaining a protected weekly half-day of outpatient continuity clinic, except during critical care and night float rotations. This structure promotes focused learning within each rotation while ensuring consistent exposure to ambulatory medicine throughout training.

Core rotations include general medical floors, critical care, and night float, providing residents with broad exposure to the evaluation and management of acutely ill and medically complex patients. Residents will complete a minimum of 40 weeks of inpatient medicine over their three years of training, with increasing responsibility, leadership, and autonomy as they progress through the program. 

Residents will have access to a diverse selection of inpatient and outpatient electives that complement their core training. Opportunities will include traditional subspecialty experiences such as cardiology, pulmonary medicine, and gastroenterology, as well as unique rotations in addiction medicine, palliative care, geriatric medicine, and sports medicine. As residents advance through training, elective time will allow them to explore their interests and select experiences that align with their individual career goals. 

Residents will participate in a longitudinal continuity clinic throughout all three years of training, allowing them to build meaningful relationships with patients and develop progressive ownership of their patient panels. Protected weekly half-day clinics provide consistent ambulatory exposure, while dedicated ambulatory blocks during the senior years allow residents to further strengthen outpatient clinical skills and prepare for independent practice.
