Program Description
This year, we plan to provide 4 combined Medicine/Pediatrics PG-1 slots through the residency match. We can be identified by NRMP code 115030.
Pediatrics and Medicine rotations are taken in 4-5 blocks throughout the 4 years. The curriculum adheres to the requirements of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics with regard to combined training in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
Overview
For Medicine, this entails twenty months of meaningful patient responsibility as defined by the Board, including six blocks of supervisory experience, one block of emergency medicine, two blocks of critical care, and at least four blocks of subspecialty training. A third of the training time is in the ambulatory setting.

With regard to Pediatrics, residents obtain five blocks of general inpatient experience, including three blocks of neonatology, and one block of pediatric critical care. There are four blocks of supervisory experience of which two are inpatient. With regard to ambulatory experience, each resident rotates through one block of adolescent medicine, one block of behavioral/developmental pediatrics, one block of normal newborn care, and three blcoks of acute care, at least one of which is concentrated in the ER. In addition there are four ambulatory electives, in which residents choose from a wide range of subspecialty opportunities.
We have established combined medicine-pediatric electives in neurology, rheumatology, and the care of patients with HIV. We continue to expand our offerings. A total of 50% of pediatric training time is ambulatory. These are minimum requirements. Variation within this basic framework occurs to accommodate special interests of individual residents.
