Primary Care Pathway
The Primary Care Pathway provides selected residents with a unique opportunity to enhance their residency training with additional experiences and preparation in providing comprehensive care for adults in the outpatient setting.
Outpatient general internal medicine requires a breadth of knowledge to manage chronic, complex conditions in patients with several co-morbidities. To succeed, primary care physicians need competence in the management of these conditions, training in non-internal medicine specialties, procedural skills, and to understand patient and system-factors that affect care delivery. The primary care pathway prepares residents to thrive as medical and community leaders upon completion of training.
The pathway spans two years (PGY-2 and PGY-3).
