Curriculum and Board Prep
Our residents consider our didactics to be one of the many highlights of our program. In the video below, listen to Dr. Shinar describe the comprehensive and innovative didactics and ABIM board preparation program.
The program pays the tuition and provides coverage of clinical responsibilities for all graduating residents to attend a board review program, such as the ACP Board Review Course (or in prior years, the Awesome Board Review program).
Shinar-Board Prep2020.mp4Academic Half Day
Our residents rate our Academic Half Day curriculum as one of the great strengths of our residency.
The whole program joins together each week for three hours of dedicated, uninterrupted learning.
During this half day, attendings carry your pagers and care for all patient issues so that you have 100% protected learning time.

Dr. Shinar (Director, Education Scholars) with the three Education Scholar Faculty: Drs. Dodaro, Harper, & Archbold.
Education Scholar Faculty
Our three education scholar faculty have dedicated time to plan and execute the Academic Half Day curriculum, together with and under the direction of Dr. Shinar. Together, they continue to innovate new ways to present the curriculum to engage all learners and to improve knowledge retention.
They meet one-on-one with each of the interns on their AHD mentorship team (and senior residents as needed) to discuss study habits and create a study plan.
Opportunities to Personalize Education
- Clinical Experiences:
Robust advising and rotation opportunities will help ensure your personalized clinical schedule optimizes the medical education and patient care experiences that will set you up for success in your intended future career, whether that is hospital medicine, primary care, or subspecialty fellowship.
In addition to traditional IM subspecialty rotations, we have a robust offering of additional unique rotations and electives that will help you tailor your residency experience to your specific interests and needs.
- Programs of Individualized Education (PIE) Certificates:
PIE Certificates recognize significant interest and commitment to learning about a topic that is supplemental to the core training curriculum. They are led at an institutional level to facilitate cross-specialty engagement in areas that align with individual career goals and interests.
All residents & fellows from our GME programs are invited to apply for any of the certificate programs.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) & Procedure Training
Residents have multiple opportunities to learn and practice ultrasound and procedure skills:
POCUS Curriculum:
This program is a part of select wards month and is based on the American College of Physicians POCUS curriculum.
Residents have protected time for hands-on training in one organ system (i.e., lung exam). The diagnostic exam months are planned to ensure a comprehensive POCUS training over the course of each year.
Procedure Team at BUMCP and the VA (integrated experience at both sites):
Residents rotate through this hospitalist-run team in one-week intervals during their EM and select non-call elective months.
Multiple rotations throughout residency and one-on-one teaching from trained ultrasound attendings promotes excellent ultrasound and procedural skills in paras, thoras, LPs and lines.
Advanced POCUS Elective:
Dedicated elective, during which residents complete the ACP POCUS modules, perform U/S-guided procedures, and have dedicated time for POCUS scanning to build a personal portfolio.
Residents on this elective check out and use a program Butterfly probe and iPad for use.
Wards, ICU and Outpatient Clinical Care:
At both BUMCP and the VA, residents have ample opportunity to perform procedures and POCUS with appropriate supervision.
Multiple butterfly probes are available in the resident team rooms in the hospital.
