Sub-Internship Rotations

All of the rotations offered are designed to give the student a complete exposure and understanding of our residency training program for interested students considering family medicine as their future specialty training. All rotations can be adjusted depending upon the schedule of their medical school and the particular needs and interests of the student. All fourth year rotations are scheduled during the months of July through January of each calendar year.

The Sub Internship is a 4-week rotation with Via Christi that is meant to be an “all-around” exposure to our program and their varied aspects of training. It is set up for the student to rotate weekly on each of the core services (OB, Family Medicine, and Pediatrics) as well as a week of Procedures. In addition, the student spends time in the outpatient clinic working with one of the faculty, spends 1-2 days at one of our rural rotation sites nearby primarily being involved in outpatient procedures, takes several nights of call with the residents, and generally participates in the residency and all that it offers.

Maternal Care is a 2 or 4-week rotation designed to give the interested medical student an intense immersion in maternal care on a night float service working one-on-one with our residents on call caring for all aspects of maternal care including vaginal deliveries, c-sections, and emergent operative gynecology. In addition, the student is encouraged to participate in any daytime activities they are interested in while here.

Sports Medicine is a 2 or 4-week rotation designed to give the interested medical student a chance to participate in all aspects of sports medicine care and musculoskeletal medicine both in the outpatient Sports Medicine Clinic and at various seasonal-based athletic events in and around the community to include Division I and Division II University programs, local High School athletics programs, as well as several professional sports leagues including Baseball, Hockey, and arena Football.
