Second Year

In the second year, the program emphasizes expanding your knowledge in pediatrics, internal medicine, and obstetrics, while increasing your responsibility as a senior resident. During this year, you will begin to serve as a supervising physician and teacher for first-year residents and medical students, particularly on these three rotations. You will be provided with specific training in teaching to prepare you for this role. Rotations are scheduled in ICU and family practice inpatient care. Additionally, there are three months of elective time and one month spent in the practice of a community family physician.

*On the Family Practice Inpatient Service, residents function as senior resident on the service to which resident and faculty patients are admitted. This service includes a full spectrum of Family Practice - adult medical and surgical patients, pediatrics, newborns, postpartum and psychiatric consults. The resident rounds daily with a Family Practice faculty member.

**Second year residents on OB/Gyn may choose a focus for their rotation; you may do obstetrics with a nurse midwife at a birthing center or with an obstetrician; or you may focus on office gynecology.
