Outpatient Assessment and Treatment

UMass Chan Medical School Electives

INTRODUCTION

 The outpatient electives at the UMass Chan Medical School (UMass Chan) are comprised of four specialty areas: adult outpatient, child outpatient, behavioral medicine, and neuropsychology. During the orientation period interns become acquainted with the opportunities in each elective area. Upon selecting an area the intern then works with the training faculty to arrange for specific clinical activities and related seminars. The outpatient electives comprise one-third of the intern's training week, at least 16 hours/week. The intern may select one major outpatient rotation or combine two rotations (e.g., 8 hours each) to fulfill this training requirement. 

Interns elect an outpatient rotation of at least 16 hours/week.
