Curriculum

The Transitional Year is structured into four-week blocks. This structure gives you the opportunity to build meaningful connections with your team, deepen your clinical knowledge, and develop confidence in your role before moving on to the next experience. Core rotations provide a solid clinical foundation, while a selective block and elective time allow residents to individualize their training.
