Preliminary Medicine Program

The Preliminary Medicine Program at the University of Connecticut has always been fully integrated into the Internal Medicine Program. The Preliminary interns work side-by-side with all other Medicine Program housestaff, rotate through the same hospitals, and are taught by the same faculty. This program is a competitive and academically challenging year, rich in core rotations and electives. It is flexible enough to allow you to individualize your first year of residency and offers a foundation on which to build your career. We emphasize evidence-based Medicine, clinical problem-solving, and a scientific method.
