General Rotation Information
......................................................................................................
Away
Rotations
Inpatient
Pediatrics. This PGY1
rotation is done at UNM in Albuquerque. This is a regional
referral center and provides an excellent inpatient
experience. There is a furnished house a short walk from
the medical center for our interns. There is no Family
Medicine clinic or call during this rotation, but the
resident will be on Pediatric call at UNM.
Rural
Rotation. This rotation in
the PGY2 year provides residents the opportunity to
experience the practice and lifestyle of family physicians
in rural settings. It may be taken anywhere in rural
New Mexico but usually involves the physicians with La Clinica de Familia. There
is no clinic or call during this rotation. Housing will be
provided if the rotation is taken away from
Las Cruces.
Electives.
There are three electives in the PGY3 year, one of which may
be taken anywhere the resident wishes if he or she has
appropriate numbers of deliveries and continuity visits in
the clinic.

Call: There
are two residents on call every night—one in OB and one in
the ER. Because of the 80-hour work week restrictions,
residents on the FMS service (ER) are required to stay in
the hospital only until 10:00 PM at which time they may take
call from home. Residents taking OB call are required to
stay in the hospital when they are on-call. We are also
asking all residents except those on call or with a
continuity OB to not come to the hospital before 7:00 AM.
Anyone approaching the 80-hour maximum should alert the
Academic Coordinator or a chief resident.
