Program Tracks | Residency Program | Department of Internal Medicine | UC Davis Health

The 1 or 2-year track includes required hospitalist screening rotations and a new independent practice rotation where residents experience work as a hospitalist at UC Davis Medical Clinics under supervision. 

The Leadership Track is a one-year track that  provides supplemental training on key aspects of being a leader in medicine, including developing a vision, managing change, mentoring, communicating effectively in challenging situations, and developing your team members.

We have an established one-year Medical Education Track, which includes supplemental training and mentorship experiences for residents seeking a clinician-educator career.

The POCUS Track is starting in Summer 2024. It is a two-year longitudinal program (R2 and R3) for residents to become proficient in basic high-yield POCUS applications, via completion of online modules and acquisition of a comprehensive image portfolio.

Our Quality Improvement Track provides additional training in hospital medicine skills, particularly in the areas of leadership and quality improvement. This is a one-year track for most, but some extend it into a second year.

This prepares interns for research and extends into electives in their second and third years. This structured process has been instrumental to residents accomplishing scholarly activity and publications, which makes them much stronger fellowship applicants.

The Internal Medicine Rural Track is an opportunity for Internal Medicine interns and IM/Psychiatry residents who are considering a future career in rural or indigenous communities.
