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 education 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.
