About the Program
The objective of the transitional year is to provide a well-balanced program of graduate medical education in multiple clinical disciplines designed to facilitate the choice of and/or preparation for a specific specialty. There are twelve positions.
On-Call Schedule
- Transitional Year residents rotating through Medicine and Surgery participate in the same on-call schedule as the categorical and preliminary PGY 1's in both disciplines.
- The call schedule is in compliance with the 2011 ACGME work hour requirements including no more than 5 consecutive nights of night float in one stretch. In hospital call is no longer than 16 hours, and there is guaranteed call-free time between hospital duties. The design of the call schedules vary with department.
- All programs are in compliance with NYSDOH 405 regulations which require that residents not exceed an average of 80 hours of work time per week over one month.
- Elective Rotations in non-accredited programs do not require residents to be on-call. Duty hours do not exceed a normal workweek of 40 hours in these rotations.
Program Director: Dina Lieser, M.D.
