PGY2-3 Years

The 3+1 scheduling format continues through all three years of training. During the second year of residency, all residents complete their ACGME-required rotation through the Emergency Department. Second and third year residents will see increased elective time that allows them to tailor their residency experience to align with their career interests.

Upper level residents are expected to function as leaders of the care team. They will see all admissions to the team, participate significantly in inpatient clinical teaching for the interns and medical students, and serve as an advocate for patients’ longitudinal care. Residents frequently assume primary care responsibility for patients who lack an identified community physician, thereby optimizing the continuity of care experience. On inpatient and ambulatory subspecialty services, residents receive training from fellows and subspecialty attendings who serve as primary attendings rather than consultants as in many hospital systems. These interactions aid residents in clarifying direction for their future careers.
