How will subspecialty rotations happen?
There are many subspecialty clinics that take place onsite at Rumford Hospital, including Cardiology, Orthopedics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitations, Hematology/Oncology, Podiatry, and Audiology. Rotations in these areas will take place longitudinally over the two years (i.e. instead of a month on cardiology, you may spend one half day twice a month for six months in the cardiology clinic, where you will also see your referred continuity patients with the cardiologist). Other specialty rotations will take place in Lewiston (ICU, Maternity Care, Dermatology, Inpatient Pediatrics). Continuity clinic responsibilities will vary according to the rotation in order to provide the maximum continuity for the resident (and patients) but to allow for educational time in different locations with the minimum of commuting.
