Rotation
Schedule
Each
year of training reflects a continuum of graduated experience and
responsibilities. The program emphasizes growth each year in all
major competencies required for professional growth, including medical
knowledge, patient care, professionalism, interpersonal skills and
communication, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based
practice. Residents must become familiar with the six core competencies
of training and understand the goals and objectives of each competency,
as they relate to a particular year of training.
The schedule
for each year is comprised of thirteen four week blocks. Each
year is roughly divided into thirds, with residents beginning
alternately in Medicine and Pediatrics each year to take advantage
of the seasonal variations of disease. In the PGY1 and PGY3 year,
eight of thirteen blocks will be in Internal Medicine and the
remaining five will be in Pediatrics. In the PGY2 and PGY4 year
the pattern is reversed, with eight of the thirteen blocks in
Pediatrics and the remaining five in Internal Medicine. Our particular
curriculum features a solid balance of core rotations and elective
experiences.
Residents
transition to their PGY 2 year after nine blocks of internship
in both disciplines. More in-depth knowledge and experience of
both General and Subspecialty Medicine and Pediatrics is required
for the role of supervisor and teacher.
Vacation time
is shared between the two Departments and can be taken from ambulatory
or elective blocks while on Medicine and from ambulatory blocks
while on Pediatrics.
At the completion
of four years of training, each resident will have completed twenty-six
blocks (twenty-four months) in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
