Since 2011, we have been using a block scheduling model. For Interns, this is a 4+1+1 (or 4+2) model, where they do 4 weeks of inpatient rotations, followed by 2 weeks of outpatient or elective or vacation rotations. Since 2019, our R2s and R3s have a 4+4 model -- 4 weeks of inpatient rotation followed by +4 weeks of some combination of ambulatory, elective, or vacation. Most of our rotations are 2 weeks in length, but residents can take electives that are up to 4 weeks long. Residents do not do their continuity clinic while on the inpatient ward or ICU time.
During the +2 or +4 time, we have Academic Half-Days with completed protected education time with a standard curriculum.
Over the duration of their residency, all residents will participate in the following inpatient rotations:

The ambulatory training of our Categorical Residents is also very strong. Residents have 8 to 10 weeks of ambulatory training each year. During these rotations, they will have a combination of continuity clinic and subspecialty clinic.
We utilize clinics at all of our ambulatory clinical sites:
Our residents have access to a very comprehensive collection of subspecialty clinics. If residents have a particular interest in certain fields, we are able to incorporate more of a certain type of clinic into their outpatient rotations. Our goal as a residency program is to help residents tailor their education to their interests.
We have required rotations in Addiction Medicine (R3) and Outpatient Geriatrics (R2). In addition, residents can rotate through these clinics:
All of our interns and residents will rotate through electives. These are what we currently offer:
Motivated residents can also create an elective suited to their personal interests. Electives that past residents have successfully created and completed include:
Interested interns and residents are able to apply for different programs and tracks. The Research Track starts in the intern year. The remaining tracks are in the PGY2 and PGY3 years and residents “apply” during their intern year:
