Boot Camp for Interns

Intern boot camp is comprised of a variety of lectures and simulation labs designed to introduce the PGYI to common inpatient medical problems. It serves as a strong foundation of knowledge to set the stage for success in residency. Some of the lectures and simulation labs provided this year can be seen below.

We provide an assortment of didactics to augment resident learning. These include academic half day, inpatient morning report, lunch conferences, ambulatory morning and afternoon conference, journal club, board review, simulation labs, and point-of-care ultrasound. We also provide MKSAP and the Yale Ambulatory Curriculum.
