Clinical Curriculum
All of the clinical rotations take place within the USA Health system, primarily at University Hospital and about 25 percent of the time at Children’s & Women’s Hospital. A summary of the clinical curriculum is as follows below.
Note that USA Health uses a 13 block (each of four weeks) schedule in all of its graduate medical ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ programs. One of those blocks is used for vacation. In emergency medicine that vacation block is split between selected ER blocks to be spread out across the year.
