Phil Scherer PSTP Clinical and Research Training

The Department of Internal Medicine follows the policies and procedures of the American Board of Internal Medicine's Research Pathway. This will guarantee that individuals will be eligible for board certification in Internal Medicine and in a subspecialty assuming successful completion of the training program.

For the PGY-1 and PGY-2 years, individuals participate fully in the categorical internal medicine program but rotation scheduling may be individualized to assure appropriate training before entering the fellowship program.

The duration of the program is 6-7 years, depending on the individual's choice of subspecialty fellowship training. Individuals are eligible for Internal Medicine Board Certification in August of the PGY-4 year, and for Subspecialty Board Certification in November of the PGY-6 or PGY-7 year.
