Electives - There is a total of 28 weeks of elective time available in a resident's second and third years. Residents develop an individual learning plan with their advisor in order to best structure their elective time to focus on their objectives. Some of our residents plan to exclusively practice outpatient medicine after graduation. However, many of our residents hope to continue caring for hospitalized patients, obstetrics and emergency room work in their future plans.
