The combined AP/CP residency program consists of 18 months of AP and 18 months of CP plus 12 additional months of training. For the PGY-1 and PGY-2 years each resident will alternate between 3 consecutive months of AP and 3 consecutive months of CP. Half of the incoming residents will start their training on an AP rotation and half will start on a CP rotation. In the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years the number of elective rotations may vary based on service coverage needs, ACGME competency requirements, and at the discretion of the Program Director.
