(One-Year Program)
NRMP 206615
The preliminary medicine program is designed for students desiring only a year of internal medicine. The program is thoroughly integrated into the three-year residency program. Residents are offered several months of elective rotations so that they may prepare themselves for anticipated careers in other disciplines such as ophthalmology, radiology, anesthesiology, psychiatry, etc. The structure of this elective period is arranged with the program director in accordance with the needs and wishes of the resident. For undecided students, the first-year resident's rotation can be identical to that of the three-year program or designed in a fashion which permits experience in anticipated areas of interest.
Students who enter the preliminary program may elect to remain in internal medicine and complete the three-year program.
