Ambulatory Week Curriculum 2020-2021

The Ambulatory Medicine curriculum is a longitudinal, progressive educational program across the three-year residency.  A portion of the curriculum is delivered during the +1 Week, across a 5-week cycle, such that each Pod receives the same and all portions of the curriculum.  During intern year, the Profession of Medicine (POM) series, Wellness & Resiliency, and Quality Improvement (PI) Project are integrated with the Ambulatory Medicine curriculum.
