Electives

Electives provide open time for residents to pursue individual areas of interest. While most electives are clinical in nature, independent study and research electives are also available. Off-site or away electives, while subject to certain University restrictions, are also potentially available. Residents may design their own elective experiences or may choose from numerous ‘templated’ electives that have been created by prior residents.  The ACGME requires all Family Medicine programs to provide a minimum of 6 months (24 weeks) of elective time. With our other core rotations providing robust exposure, our program is proud to have the opportunity to offer 8 months (32 weeks).
