"Med Peds Months"

 
Starting with the second year of residency training, residents spend three months on each IM and Pediatric rotations in an alternating fashion.  A transitional “Med Peds Month” is a combined, integrated ambulatory subspecialty experience in internal medicine and pediatrics which serves as a transition point between more traditional IM and pediatric service months.  During these months, residents spend 50% of a month long rotation in an IM subspecialty clinic and 50% in a Pediatric subspecialty clinic, typically within the same discipline.  Through the final three years of training, each resident will have approximately ten “Med Peds Months” of educational opportunities in combined subspecialty ambulatory experiences.

The following is not an exhaustive list, but merely suggestions and examples of prior rotations that have been combined by current and past residents of the program.
