Curriculum

The master rotation schedule consists of 12 months. The box on the right shows an example of a flexible service schedule. The schedule is organized so that each service acts as a building block for the next and it allows time at the beginning of the schedule for fellows to prepare for examination for certification.

Fellows are on in-house call five to six times per month. Attendings are always present in-house.

Two months are reserved for elective rotations. Fellows can choose from among the following:

• Transplant Critical Care at the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville (4 week block)


• Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Wolfson Children's Hospital (2 or 4 week block)


• Burn Intensive Care Unit at Shands at UF (2 or 4 week block)
