4 half-days per Y-week. Residents are assigned to one of our 4 outpatient clinics (Sooner Peds, Sooner Peds North, Super Ninos, our community partner Bethany Children’s Health Center). Residents stay with the same continuity clinic throughout the entire year, and many often choose to stay with the same clinic throughout their entire residency.
Every Y-week, PGY-1s spend one half-day in outpatient Cardiology and one half-day in outpatient Nephrology. PGY-2s spend their two half-days in outpatient Endocrinology and Gastroenterology. PGY-3s have one subspecialty clinic half-day each Y-week and spend it in Hematology-Oncology.
All residents have one half-day each Y-week dedicated to IC. This time allows residents to supplement their education tailored to their interests with both short- and long-term elective experiences across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. If you can think of a learning experience, we probably have it! And if we don’t, we’ll do our best to help arrange it.
For the first sixth months of the year, our PGY-1s spend their IC half-day in predetermined one-on-one or small group settings to provide more in-depth training with faculty and ancillary staff to improve overall efficacy and understanding of hospital systems.
All residents spend two half-days each Y-week in didactics. This time includes topics like Social Determinants of Health, Simulation Curriculum, Quality Improvement (QI), Residents as Teachers, Value-Based Care, Research, Board Review, and more.
All residents have one half-day each week dedicated to administrative time to catch up on charting, emails, etc. Residents will have their same admin half-day each Y-week for the entire year, making it an ideal time to schedule appointments or other life occurrences that require prior planning.
PGY-3s replace one of their subspecialty clinic half-days with dedicated Board Study time.
