Residency Program
Overview
This graph provides a guide to the layout of the UAMS Internal Medicine
Training Program. For more specific information regarding the breakdown of the
Medicine-Pediatrics program, please follow the Med-Peds link.
For Internal Medicine residents, there may be slight variations in the number of
months assigned to various activities depending on the organization and
arrangement of the services at our two major teaching hospitals as well as the
wishes of individual residents.
In general, the program provides 24 months of primary patient care on medical
wards, the Ambulatory Care Center and intensive care units (MICU or CCU). There
is 1 month in the Emergency Department along with 11 months of electives.
Post Graduate Year 1 (PGY-1) residents
• 5 months on wards
• 2 months on intensive care units
• 1 month of night float
• 1 month in the Emergency Department
• 1 month of ambulatory care
• 2 months of electives
Post Graduate Year 2 and 3 residents
• After the first year, the distinction between 2nd and 3rd year residents
becomes less obvious. There is little difference in responsibilities or duties.
Overall, the program is designed to allow for more elective time and less months
on inpatient wards and units as one progresses through the years of the
residency.
