For example, our residents entering a career in primary care may opt for rotations in ambulatory care, women’s health, dermatology, allergy and/or psychiatry. Conversely, residents interested in a hospitalist career may choose to spend time on a palliative care rotation, ultrasound and/or complete a hospitalist elective.
Our residents entering fellowships may choose anything from endoscopy (for those considering GI) to a month in the cardiac catheterization or echocardiography labs (for those considering cardiology). In addition, there are opportunities to rotate with private practitioners in those specialties.
Both preliminary and categorical residents may choose from any of the elective options listed above. The diverse options and our scheduling flexibility are part of tailoring your residency experience to your individual needs.
