Learning Experiences

At a minimum, each resident will spend two-thirds or more of their time involved in direct patient care activities and approximately half of the residency year is scheduled in required learning experiences inclusive of longitudinal experiences. No more than one-third of direct patient care learning experiences (over a 12-month period) may focus on a specific disease state or population. All rotation blocks are five weeks in duration (except as noted) for a total of 10 blocks throughout the residency year. All residents will be assigned five required learning experiences and select a total of five elective experiences.

Sequencing of Learning Experiences

Learning experiences are scheduled such that areas of possible PGY2 specialization occur prior to the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. Learning experience schedules are modified during the year based on changes in resident interest and/or performance.
