Each rotation is comprised of clinical procedures. The objectives of the clinical rotations are for residents to learn to perform the tasks necessary to implement the clinical procedures and understand the scientific rationale for them. Residents learn the theoretical basis and scientific rationale for the clinical procedures addressed in the rotation by studying the appropriate documents. Residents receive hands on training to perform the tasks associated with the clinical procedures. Residents are then required to independently complete the tasks, demonstrating their abilities. The order and durations are provided in the table below.
