Primary Care Block — the Internal Medicine residency has started an innovative 1 month curriculum to prepare interns for outpatient continuity care. Med-Peds residents have the opportunity to take advantage of this curriculum in their first few months.
Wellness curriculum — In 2009, the Pediatrics residency started a formalized curriculum to promote wellness among busy residents. We know that balancing work and home life is difficult as a resident, and we hope to promote awareness and healthy ways of coping with these difficulties.
Clinical Skills Block — Med-Peds residents have the opportunity to hone their procedural skills through the Department of Anesthesia Simulation Center. The rotation allows practice with skills such as IV placement, central line placement, lumbar punctures, and running codes.
Boards Review – both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics have a dedicated series of educational sessions open to all residents that are geared toward preparing senior residents for their board exams. Other board review materials provided include Internal Medicine MedStudy and AAP PREP Curriculum.
