All first-year residents begin with a month of orientation to the family medicine service and to the routines of the facilities in which they will be working during the residency. The residents' paths then diverge, each spending two months on general internal medicine, two months on pediatrics, two months on obstetrics, 2 weeks in labor management, 2 weeks intro to MICU, two months in the Emergency Department, one month of general surgery and one month of inpatient family medicine. During this year, the resident will begin to acquire families for whose care he or she will be responsible during the remainder of training. The resident spends one half-day per week in the Family Practice Center. The orientation, labor management and family medicine months have no night call. The emergency medicine rotation involves approximately 20 shifts during the month. The resident averages every fourth night call for the remaining seven months.
