The traditional Rotating Internship at Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital offers experience in a variety of basic fields of medicine. Traditional interns work with the Program Director to design a one year program geared toward their specialty field of interest. Traditional year rotation requirements as defined by the American Osteopathic Association are as follows (effective July 1, 2008):
2 months Internal Medicine
1 month General Surgery
1 month Family Practice
1 month Pediatrics
1 month OB/GYN
1 month ER
3 months of elective exposure (to be approved by the Program Director)
Remaining time to be scheduled at the discretion of the basic institution.
Exposure must occur to the support disciplines of pathology, radiology, and anesthesiology. This may occur directly by rotation or indirectly by formal didactic conference and/or exposure while on medical and surgical services. Exposure must be verified on intern logs.
