Curriculum
Our Schedule: 4+1
Our 4+1 schedule consists of a 4-week block of either service, elective, ICU, or night float, followed by 1 week of ambulatory. The 4-week inpatient blocks can be one unified service rotation, or a combination of different rotations, as illustrated above. Consolidating our ambulatory experience into these one-week blocks has many advantages, including:
- Emphasizes a longitudinal curriculum spread over the three years
- Keeps the team together during inpatient rotations, since no member of the team leaves for clinic
- Allows for residents to have 2 free weekend days every 5 weeks
The schedule for our preliminary interns is very similar to that of our categorical intern, following a 4+1 pattern.
Typical breakdown or rotations per PGY year, in average number of weeks:
