for patients.

wide spectrum of ambulatory and hospitalized patients across the
lifecycle, including the medically complex patient.
- Allow residents to select
specific training experiences needed by communities in which they
intend to practice.

residents to acquire competence with a large number of inpatient and
ambulatory procedures.

knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to successfully practice
