Transitional Year Residency Program
Overview
The MountainView Regional Medical Center (MVRMC) transitional year residency program provides PGY-1 residents with a broad clinical experience as the foundation for future specialty training. A strong emphasis on fundamental clinical skills becomes the basis on which residents, with the assistance of the program director, tailor individualized educational programs appropriate for their professional goals.
Mission and Vision
It is the mission of the MVRMC transitional year residency program to not only train complete physicians with a broad-based education in clinical medicine but also physicians who practice medicine with kindness and compassion, who communicate with respectful, logical actions and words, and who integrate a holistic approach to care. It is the vision of the MVRMC faculty to train residents who progressively improve the individual and societal practice of medicine, who foster education, camaraderie and cooperation, and who excel in the business and professional aspect of medicine. Residents are taught to nurture growth, research, teaching and best standards of practice.
Curriculum
To assure appropriate development of fundamental clinical skills, each resident is assigned a minimum of 24 weeks of rotations in emergency medicine, family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine and pediatrics. Available electives provide flexibility and are assigned with consideration of individual needs and goals for advanced residency training.
Didactic Schedule
All disciplines participating in the education of transitional year residents encourage involvement in their formal educational activities such as teaching rounds, conferences, seminars, guest lectures, journal club and grand rounds. Institutional and program-specific conferences provide a broad range of structured didactic activities in the general competencies: professionalism, patient care and procedural skills, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, and system-based practice.
