The University of Texas Southwestern--Austin Transitional Year Program is structured to give residents broad exposure to the basic areas of medicine. The popular program rotates residents through six specialties, including internal medicine, pediatrics, neurology, surgery, emergency medicine and a specialty of the resident’s choice.
The Transitional Program is a one-year residency designed for medical school graduates who have chosen a specialty that requires a general residency program as a prerequisite. The program is housed at University Medical Center at Brackenridge, where residents care for a diverse group of patients. An attending physician on each rotation supervises the residents. On pediatrics, internal medicine and neurology rotations, senior residents also supervise them.
