At this point in our training there are increased opportunities for elective rotations. There is slightly more flexibility in Internal Medicine electives by the nature of current ACGME requirements. 

PGY-3 Residents entering a predominantly Internal Medicine year (8 of 12 months on IM) will see more elective time in the PGY-3 year.

PGY-3 Residents entering a predominantly Pediatric year (8 of 12 months on Peds) will see more elective time in the PGY-4 year.

    • IM Wards Senior inpatient (4 months)
    • Banner MICU Senior (2 months)
