Ambulatory Training
Over the course of the three-year program, residents in the Primary Care Track spend an increased proportion of their time in the ambulatory clinics. Rotations in the ambulatory setting can occur at a variety of clinical sites and include rotations in nonmedical subspecialty areas that cover common outpatient conditions (e.g., women's health, dermatology, ENT, urgent care, LGBTQ+ medicine, sports medicine).
