Osteopathic
Programs
The University of Connecticut
offers two different Osteopathic post-graduate training programs.
We have a Traditional Rotating Internship, which satisfies both
the AOA and ACGME requirements for internship ("dually-accredited").
After completing the one-year Traditional Rotating Internship, trainees
may continue on in the allopathic Internal Medicine Residency Program
as a PGY2, or seek training in a non-medicine specialty such as
Radiology or Anesthesia.
We also offer
a Traditional Rotating Internship linked with an Osteopathic Internal
Medicine Residency Program. This program is a three year program.
It satisfies all requirements for Internships and Residencies as
set forth by both the AOA and the ACGME ("dually-accredited")
The Combined program leads to Board eligibility for both AOA/AOBIM
and ACGME/ABIM Internal Medicine certifying exams and allows residents
to apply to both osteopathic and allopathic fellowships.
Application
to both programs should be made through ERAS. On ERAS, the Traditional
Rotating Internship is the 1-year program and the Traditional Rotating
Internship Linked to Internal Medicine is the 3-year program.
