In July of 2019, we transitioned to a new, 4+4 schedule model. Interns and residents alternate between:
This schedule has a variety of benefits. First, it allows for a balanced education of both inpatient and ambulatory experiences. During clinic blocks, residents will also have protected time for research and scholarly activity, dedicated ambulatory curriculum, longitudinal subspecialty experiences, and quality improvement projects. Secondly, it minimizes conflicting inpatient and outpatient responsibilities, allowing residents to focus primarily on one educational endeavor at a time. We think this optimizes each learning experience –both in the outpatient and inpatient realm. We also believe this schedule enhances the continuity clinic experience by allowing for greater familiarization with the clinic setting, which becomes an educational home throughout residency.
