Overview
The goal of the NUHS Transitional Year Residency Program (TYRP) is to provide a well-balanced program of graduate medical education in multiple clinical disciplines. It is designed to facilitate the choice of and/or preparation for a specific specialty. The TYRP is not meant to be a complete graduate education program but rather a broad-based program in fundamental clinical skills that will serve our residents well regardless of ultimate career path. Residents in our TYRP will be an integral part of the NUHS family, which includes 7 other categorical residency programs with plans to expand further in the next 1-2 years.
The TYRP is designed to meet the educational needs of our residents. Service obligations of the sponsoring institution are secondary to the TYRP educational objectives. Our residents are incorporated into the patient care team in whatever discipline they are assigned. They are included in all conferences, grand rounds and research activities of the other residencies. Educational quality, rather than meeting service demands, is the objective of our program.
