Transitional Year Program - Emory School Of Medicine

Department of Medicine

Our Transitional Year Program is an ACGME-accredited one-year program designed to provide a well-balanced clinical base year for trainees who match into advanced Emory residency programs including but not limited to radiology, neurology, ophthalmology, and anesthesiology.

Beyond training in fundamental clinical skills, the Transitional Year Program promotes intellectual curiosity and discovery through tailored elective choices, leadership and teacher development through resident directed core conferences, and a diverse culture.

The program produces well-rounded residents who have balanced experience in a variety of clinical settings prior to entering advanced residency programs. It includes monthly rotations in inpatient medicine, intensive care units, emergency medicine, ambulatory medicine, and electives in a wide variety of specialties and subspecialties. This schedule is organized according to a curriculum that is primarily driven by educational need and board requirements of the advanced programs. The curriculum includes regular teaching conferences during fundamental clinical skills (FCS) months, multiple weekly interdepartmental subspecialty conferences, a monthly Transitional Year Core Conference, and a core curriculum of general internal medicine topics during the inpatient medicine months.

Please note: The Transitional Year Program does not hold separate interviews for applicants who haven’t been granted interviews by an Emory University School of Medicine advanced program. Due to the number of advanced training programs at Emory, our applicant pool is limited primarily to those tracking into Emory-affiliated residency programs and/or Emory University School of Medicine alumni.
