Clinic

IR learners will begin integration into IR Clinics with two, half-days per four-week block throughout the year (including during Internship if it is completed in Preliminary Surgery at UVMMC).  In PGY2-6 years the IR Clinic will continue as a longitudinal experience throughout all rotations with the IR learner participating in two, half days in clinic per four-week block (except for post-call time off, ICU rotations, or when Q4 call rotations compel the trainee to be on clinical service).
