Primary care track

Our new Primary Care Track offers rigorous training designed to prepare residents to become outstanding general internists. We emphasize evidence-based, collaborative, compassionate care, with a strong focus on developing the skills needed to thrive in diverse ambulatory settings.

This track is ideal for residents interested in careers as primary care physicians, particularly those committed to serving a wide range of patient populations in outpatient settings. This is not a separate track within ERAS. Rather, residents already within the program can apply/opt-in during their PGY-1 or PGY-2 year to join the primary care track.
