Electives

In addition to the full array of traditional electives in internal medicine subspecialties, the program offers several special opportunities. Residents are encouraged to choose from important areas within and related to internal medicine. Furthermore, if one of our residents self-identifies an opportunity that she/he would like to try, we work to create a unique month that fulfills their needs. Our emphasis is on flexibility and helping our residents tailor their training to best meet their future career interests and goals.
