The program has been designed to provide a diversified core curriculum which allows the resident to learn responsibility for the primary management of patients with a wide variety of pathological conditions.
The Transitional Year Curriculum requires 24 weeks/6months of training in disciplines which provide fundamental clinical skills. Recognizing that individuals entering the program may desire exposure to areas not included in the core curriculum, four rotations are left for elective rotations which are tailored to meet the individual clinical needs and future interests of each resident.
