Five-Year Rotation Schedule
Five-Year Rotation Schedule
Intern Year
Intern year is spent entirely on Pediatrics. Our “X+Y” curriculum (3 weeks traditional rotation + 1 ambulatory week) allows for a guaranteed week of outpatient and academic experience each month, while preserving time during the rest of the month for dedicated inpatient or elective experiences. During this “Y” week, residents spend 4-5 half days in their longitudinal outpatient experience (LOE) or continuity clinic. Other longitudinal experiences make up the remainder of the time during "Y" weeks, including courses on advocacy, behavior and development, subspecialty pediatrics, and individual or small group work on quality improvement or research.
PGY 2 Year
Our residents start their second year on June 24th, with an orientation to general psychiatry. The triple board residents have three pediatric continuity clinics per month and one mental health integration clinic per month, as rotation allows. There is one full day of didactics per week on adult psychiatry, and ½ day per week on child psychiatry.

12 Months Outpatient Child Psychiatry
During this year, the residents will have general child psychiatry outpatient continuity clinic at three to four half days per week. They will have one to two days per week of MHI experiences, and two pediatric continuity clinics per month. There is one half day per week in the HMHI HOME program, caring for children and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. In addition, there are electives that provide exposure to such populations as preschool children, substance abusing and at-risk teens, traumatized children, and rural psychiatry/tele-psychiatry opportunities.
Pediatric Continuity Clinic
During the PGY 1-3 years, residents work in either South Main Clinic, which is a predominantly underserved Spanish-speaking population or the University Pediatric Clinic, which is a university-based clinic where your patient experience ranges from treating refugees to the children of professors and other university employees.
During the PGY 4-5 years, many residents stay in their continuity clinic. However, you have the option of choosing a subspecialty continuity clinic as well. During PGY 4 year, each triple boarder spends one half day per month doing mental health integration in their continuity clinic, and three half-days per month during the PGY 5 year.
