Preliminary Medicine

BWH provides a rigorous and richly rewarding one-year experience for physicians headed to residencies in other fields, such as radiation-oncology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and radiology. The selection criteria for entry into the program and our commitment to your career development, is the same as for our other programs. Preliminary interns are seamlessly integrated into the full intern experience and curriculum, with three minor differences: (1) no continuity clinic; (2) two months of elective (rather than ambulatory blocks and geriatrics); and (3) rotating at the VA Hospital is optional. In addition to standard preliminary positions, we participate in partnerships for BWH PGY 1 years in Advanced-Preliminary Neurology Program, Medicine-Anesthesia, and Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Program.
Recent Preliminary Medicine graduates have headed to the following residencies:
