Electives
Elective months allow each resident to individualize his/her medical training. Residents may choose to obtain additional experience in primary care or a medical subspecialty of interest, to learn principles of public health through community outreach projects, or to perform basic science or clinical research.
Research and Quality Improvement
All residents will participate in scholarly activity, which may include conducting extensive reviews of medical literature, reporting interesting clinical cases at regional or national academic societies, or conducting original medical research under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
Outpatient Medicine
About 45 percent of the educational program is conducted in the outpatient environment. General medicine outpatient experiences include continuity clinic, and the three-year program also provides outpatient training in the specialties of dermatology, emergency medicine, geriatrics, infectious diseases, men’s and women’s health, neurology, oncology, hospice and palliative care, and addiction medicine.
