Internal Medicine

Taking care of you, so that you can take care of our community.

Curriculum

The backbone of our curriculum is a 3+1 schedule. X+Y scheduling has been the most important innovation in internal medicine education during the last decade, and our schedule proudly balances inpatient and outpatient experiences, work and life, while maintaining continuity and building relationships.

Highlights:

  • Inpatient rotations will be a maximum of 2 weeks in duration
  • Night float will be limited to 1 week rotations during the PGY-1 year
  • No 24 hour call throughout the 3 years of training
  • 4 week orientation block during July of PGY-1 year
  • Rotations in all medical subspecialties prior to end of PGY-2 year allowing you to make an informed choice about fellowship
  • Longitudinal rotations in select subspecialties including oncology and rheumatology.  Rotate 1 day per block x 1 year allowing you to schedule and follow up your OWN patients
