Notes

1. 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).
2. Resident will attend one outpatient clinic (three to four patients) per week during IC.
3. Please note that AMB weeks do not include the outpatient clinic required during INP and IC.
4. 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.
