Electives & Global Health

Residents have elective time to tailor their learning toward their career goals. We are very open to finding new elective opportunities and will support residents in finding additional training related to their particular interests. With the recent ACGME changes that increased elective time, this is a growing portion of the curriculum.

• Electives can be spent with specialists (orthopedics, sports medicine, cardiology, etc.) or other healthcare professionals such as physical therapists, chiropractors, midwives, lactation consultants, and more.
• There are opportunities to participate in gender affirming care through the Transgender specialty clinic at St. Peter Family Medicine. Residents also receive didactics about gender affirming care to gain competency in caring for transgender patients.
• Residents can do away electives for Global Health Experiences. We have established relationships with rotations in Kenya, Guatemala and Haiti, to name a few.
• Residents participating in the OB Track are encouraged to use elective time for additional obstetrical rotations.
