Each year of training is carefully designed to build upon the last, offering a broad range of rotations, hands-on experiences and specialty exposures that equip residents with the skills, confidence and adaptability to thrive in most clinical settings. The academic year is divided into eight blocks (each six weeks) that are further split into three-week increments.
Below is a snapshot of how training evolves year by year – comprehensive, immersive and always patient-centered.
