Outpatient Experience

We recognize the importance of excellent training in the outpatient setting.

Front of HCOCResident schedules are in an "X+Y" format, allowing for concentrated experience in our outpatient practice, known as the AIM Clinic.

Elements of the program include:

AIM Clinic Block

  • Two week AIM Block every 6 weeks.
  • AIM Block consists of the following:
    • Resident continuity clinic: The residents' very own medical practice!
    • VA subspecialty clinics: Rotate through diverse subspecialty outpatient experiences, including medical and surgical subspecialties.
    • NEW! Longitudinal subspecialty clinic experience: Work side by side with the same UofL attending in the field you are pursuing over your three years of residency. This experiences allows you to build relationships within your chosen department and develop a deeper understanding of outpatient medicine.
    • Quality Improvement Curriculum: Helps improve care for your patient panel.
