Integrated
Residency Program
Purpose
The Integrated Residency Program is an educational alternative in
which a student not only has the opportunity to complete fourth year rotations
but also to learn more about the responsibilities as a resident in the
specified program, providing additional focus to outstanding medical students
in the field of medicine they wish to enter. The program does not shorten the
duration of training and is not an acceptance into a residency program.
There is a scholarship available upon successful completion of the
program and it is based upon individual performance. Integrated residency is
separate from the match process; the agreement to participate in the program is
not legally binding in regards to your future residency program. To enter
residency program, you must still register for ERAS and NRMP, and apply to
program(s) in which you are interested in the spring match.
Departments participating in the integrated residency program vary
from year to year. Historically, the following departments have taken part on a
somewhat regular basis:
·
Anesthesiology
·
Emergency Medicine
·
Family and Community Medicine
·
Medicine
·
Med-Peds
·
Neurology
·
Orthopaedic Surgery
·
Pathology and Anatomical Sciences
·
Psychiatry
·
Radiology
Description of Expected
Experiences/Curriculum
- All departments will require one to
two elective courses as part of their program criteria.

medical student and residency experiences.
- Introduction to field of interest as
traditionally experienced by first-year residents.

Guidelines and Qualifications for
Interested Medical Student Candidates
