Internal Medicine Rotation 

Several months during our three year residency are devoted to Internal Medicine and its various subspecialties.  Our first year rotations alone include one month of ICU, one month of outpatient medicine at the local VA Clinic, one month of cardiology, and two months of our Family Medical Service.

During your rotations in general internal medicine and medical subspecialties, you acquire necessary skills in many areas, including:

• cardiopulmonary resuscitation (i.e., running codes)
• intubation
• paracentesis
• thoracentesis
• lumbar puncture
• EKG interpretation
• stress testing
• ventilator management
• flexible sigmoidoscopy
• colonoscopy
