Residents have the opportunity for 500+ hours of elective time that can be used to improve skills and expertise in obstetrics, pediatrics, wilderness medicine, surgical sub-specialties, medication assisted treatment of substance use disorder, and international medicine rotations, just to name a few.
Residents are encouraged to choose and design their own electives based upon their individual interests and future practice needs or requirements that are beyond the standard requirements for graduation. Past electives have included trauma, high risk obstetrics, integrative medicine, work with the Indian Health Service, a rural Alaska elective, and research. Our longitudinal schedule allows for a great deal of flexibility when planning elective time.
