Internal Medicine Residency Externships
2026-2027 Academic Year Applications
2026-2027 Academic Year Rotations and Applications Open February 16-May 31
A small number of ICU and GI rotations will be available to those 4th year students who have completed a Medicine Sub-I or other advanced Internal Medicine 4th year rotation.
The Internal Medicine externship appointment is for four weeks. Due to the individualized attention afforded to each extern, we accept only a limited number of students at any one time.
Requirements
- Only students in their final year of medical school are eligible
- Completed application with attached CV
- Letter of Recommendation or an evaluation with narrative comments from your Internal Medicine clerkship preceptor, a letter or evaluation from another clerkship will also be accepted. (This will be requested from school upon acceptance of rotation)
Responsibilities
Externs in Internal Medicine are assigned to the teaching service and work closely with the resident staff inpatient care activities in the academic program on a ward team. Patient work-ups are assigned by the senior resident for each unit team. The student will attend morning report, noon conferences and two additional teaching sessions with a member of the teaching faculty twice per week.
Housing
Housing is available free of charge for one month, but is subject to availability. Housing is reserved on a first-come first-served basis, at the time of receipt of the extern’s application. If housing is not available for the rotation dates requested, the extern must secure his or her own housing.
Resources
The Sage Medical Library is an excellent medical library with free copying and computer privileges for residents and students.
Evaluation
Performance will be submitted to the Dean of the extern’s medical school following completion of the externship.
