Our unique 4 + 1 schedule offers 4 weeks of rotation (Inpatient floors, ICU or Elective) followed by 1 week of dedicated ambulatory time. This schedule:

• Allows for a more rewarding and uninterrupted outpatient as well as inpatient experience
• Allows the residents to experience a “Group Practice” model as they work in cohorts providing coverage for each other’s continuity clinic patients when their PCP is not in clinic
• Allows for ample continuity with residents’ patient panel

The Primary Care Curriculum provides residents who plan to pursue careers in primary care after graduation with additional outpatient-focused educational experiences and rotations.
