Notes
- Resident will attend outpatient clinics based on the percentage indicated in the table (30%: up to 6 patients per week; 100%: up to 14 patients per week).
- Resident will attend one outpatient clinic (three to four patients) per week during IC.
- Please note that AMB weeks do not include the outpatient clinic required during INP and IC.
- IC: we expect residents to complete a basic science or clinical research project (including UDN) that can lead to a publication in a peer-reviewed journal. There is an option to do selective rotations during IC.
