Block Schedule

Three years in two-week and four-week blocks, with continuity clinic throughout, 26 weeks of electives, and no 24-hour shifts.

The three-year curriculum covers the full spectrum of family medicine on a schedule that residents can sustain. Most rotations run in two-week blocks. A few core rotations run four weeks, so residents can go deeper in the key clinical experiences. Continuity clinic continues through every rotation, so residents follow their own patients for all three years.

Residents have 26 weeks of elective time across the three years. We do not schedule 24-hour shifts.
