The Physicians Transitional Year provides a broad, flexible year of graduate medical education to assist undecided physicians in selecting a specialty and to offer a preparatory year to those physicians who want one prior to entering a specialty. The program offers an optimal balance of well-supervised patient care responsibility and didactic educational activity to enhance the resident's clinical maturity. The physician gains experience through rotations, individualized according to needs and interests. The clinical rotations are educationally structured and offer intensive interaction with attending physicians and specialty residents. The transitional residency is sponsored by the Departments of Internal Medicine, Surgery and Family Medicine. The Transitional Year Residency Committee, including the program director and representatives of the above departments, oversees the program. |
