 A great place to start
The Aurora St. Luke's Transitional Year Residency is designed to provide a
broad medical educational experience and to facilitate the choice and/or
preparation for future specialty training. Our primary sponsors are the
Aurora Health Care Internal Medicine and Family Practice Residencies,
both University of Wisconsin (UW) affiliated programs.
Our internship has been a stepping stone to specialty residencies and
careers since 1969. Over the years we have developed a strong reputation
for providing excellent clinical preparatory training by applying some
basic principles to many unique hospital and program characteristics.
The principles
Our mission is to provide superior broad-based clinical training to
prepare our residents for a variety of medical fields. Although our
transitional year residents enter into specialties such as Diagnostic Radiology,
Anesthesiology, Ophthalmology and others, they share many common educational
needs. By focusing on these common needs, we prepare them for successful
and rewarding careers as physicians, regardless of their specialties.
Transitional Year residents are individuals with different specialty
choices and unique educational and career goals. We provide a large
degree of curricular flexibility and individual choice to meet these
goals.
We consider and treat our residents as colleagues. We respect their
opinions, recognize their need for support and autonomy, and appreciate
their hard work and efforts. We also realize that, like us, they have
lives beyond the confines of the hospital. Over the years we have seen
our residents become our associates. We realize that, from the first day
in the hospital, we enter into a partnership of mutual teaching,
learning and patient care.
Our residents are here to receive an education, not provide a
service. The hospital, medical staff and patients all benefit from our
housestaff, and our residents assume a high degree of responsibility in
meaningful patient care. But patient care services, especially those
easily assumed by ancillary personnel, are not dependent on resident
coverage. This allows our residents to be involved in patient care and
other educational activities that enhance, not comprise, their training.
