The University of Florida Internal Medicine program is an innovative program and is constantly developing new programs which are increasingly being emulated by other internal medicine programs. No more is this true than with our elective rotation curriculum.
Elective time is divided during each year of the residency. Typically, elective time increases as an individual advances through the residency program. However, there is no guarantee elective time will be equal for all Residents or necessarily increase over time. Electives are grouped into two major categories: Outpatient and Inpatient. Elective requests are approved and scheduled by the Ambulatory Chief Resident.
You will find the list of available electives provided each block on the Elective Request Form sent prior to your rotation by the Ambulatory Chief Resident. Please see the subsections for brief descriptions of some of our Elective rotations. Requests for research time, away electives, or any elective not listed on the Residency Homepage are subject to prior approval from the Ambulatory Chief resident and Program Director.
