Internal Medicine Rotation Schedules

The Internal Medicine Residency consists of 36 months of training leading to American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Board Certification.

Ambulatory care training accounts for approximately 30% of overall residency training, which includes one half-day per week in a continuity ambulatory internal medicine clinic, emergency medicine, subspecialty medical clinics, a block rotation in ambulatory care at the VA Medical Center, and a primary care medicine rotation. Rotations are four-week blocks beginning on Monday and ending on Sunday.

Variations may occur according to changes in accreditation guidelines, previous individual residency training, and personal resident preferences.
