The transitional
year curriculum has been designed to give the resident a broad
clinical base yet preserve much needed flexibility in meeting
individual career goals. The curriculum for each resident
is individualized by the Program Director, Curriculum Coordinator,
and Residency Coordinator based on his/her needs.

clinical base for specialty training, or an opportunity to finalize
a career decision while developing a clinical base.
Our
flexible TY program is tailored to your individual goals
and needs!

Who
Are Our Residents?
 Our
residents are from LCME-accredited schools in the U.S. and Canada,
or from qualified international medical schools.
After
completion of the Transitional Year, most residents from KMC pursue careers in specialties
that require a well-rounded clinical year prior to beginning
their specialty training
- such fields include anesthesiology, dermatology, neurology,
ophthalmology, PM&R, preventive
medicine, radiology, radiation oncology, etc.
Occasionally
one of our graduates enter primary care specialties such as
IM or FP, or
serve their pay-back time in the military (we've had residents
who owe time to the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy, and who
have gone into positions such as Flight Surgeon, or even the
Navy Seals! |

Call
Responsibilities
Seven
months during the year. While on call, there is always a senior
resident present who sees the patients with you.
Transitional
Year residents assume the same responsibilities while on call
and are treated the same as categorical IM residents. |
