We require that you complete an ACGME accredited transitional year or a rotation that meets the ACGME criteria: One year of the four years of training is to develop fundamental clinical skills. This year of training in fundamental clinical skills must consist of an accredited transitional year or include six months or more responsibility in accredited training with inpatient responsibility in family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, pediatrics, or surgery, or any combination of these patient care experiences. The remaining months of this year may include any combination of accredited specialties or subspecialties.

Accredited training in any of the specialties or subspecialties selected must be for a period of at least four weeks. No more than eight weeks may be in non-direct patient care experiences. Training in fundamental clinical skills must be completed within the first two years of the four-year training program. Osteopathic internships often satisfy these clinical requirements.

One of the best ways to experience our residency is to take an elective as a fourth year medical student. Please call the Harvard Medical School Office of the Registrar to initiate the application process.
