Transitional Year Residency Program and Rotating Internship Experience
An excellent longitudinal ambulatory experience is built into the Transitional experience within the Family Medicine Center and affiliated long term care facilities. This experience has been recognized as a "Notable Practice" by ACGME. Here they have the opportunity to see patients alongside the Family Medicine faculty to master healthcare maintenance, in addition to chronic and acute problems.
The primary care approach is a beneficial byproduct of the Transitional Program’s close relationship to the Family Medicine Residency Program. Over the years, there have been many Transitional Year residents who have opted to stay at The Medical Center and complete the Family Medicine Residency.
