Rotation Schedule

Intern Year PL – 1

Training encompasses all aspects of primary care pediatrics,as well as exposure to sub-specialty patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, where the basics of pediatric management is learned. PL – 1 is a resident-driven program where residents act as the patient’s primary physician. This allows for the sharpening of communications skills, familiarity with procedures, determining appropriate differential diagnoses and solidifying history and physical examination skills. Supervision and teaching are continually provided by experienced faculty with the assistance of senior residents.

Second Year PL - 2

The second year refines procedural, history taking and physical examination skills and builds upon the resident's expertise by introducing advanced training opportunities, including sub-specialty rotations. This allows residents the opportunity to explore their core knowledge and sub-specialty interests. The resident begins to assume a supervisory role and develop teaching and leadership skills.

Senior Year PL- 3

Increasing independence and supervisory responsibility allow the senior resident to synthesize knowledge, experience, and leadership skills. Senior residents develop a proficiency in running a patient care team in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Additional elective time fulfills the resident's individual educational needs.
