The second- and third-year rotations provide a continuum of training experiences designed to sharpen and expand inpatient and outpatient skills.
Residents move beyond traditional community medicine principles and actively engage in an innovative population health curriculum. All residents maintain continuity experiences in both the urban (Family Medicine Downtown) and rural (Walter L. Aument Family Health Center) practices and more emphasis is placed on the personal responsibility of the resident in patient care. This includes office-based procedures, practice management, and collaborating with other members of the health-care team.

Work with Underserved Populations Away Rotations
Residents can spend one rotation in their second and third year in a setting where they can provide clinical service in a supportive, supervised setting.
In the U.S., residents may choose to go to Sitka, Alaska or several Indian Health Services locations.
International locations include Malamulo Hospital in Malawi and Shirati Hospital in northeast Tanzania. In the western hemisphere, many of our residents spend a four-week block working with the Mayan Medical Aid organization on the shore of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. This is a combined medical service/language immersion experience where residents receive a half day of medical Spanish training, and the remainder in direct patient care to an indigenous population.
