Special Features & Unique Opportunities

Our categorical program is four years long and includes PGY1. Most of the PGY1 year is spent on internal medicine rotations. However, there is a weekly continuity clinic in neurology and two blocks are spent on neurology rotations. The last block is spent in neurology boot camp to prepare you for PGY2! AOA: for osteopathic students, there is the option of modifying your PGY1 curriculum for licensure in the three states (Florida, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma) that require an OGME-1 year.
