Rotation Information

Intern Schedule

All students and interns begin the program with an orientation to UVA Health and the surrounding area.  Interns are expected to follow the daily schedule of their assigned preceptor or team. This will vary rotation to rotation, but in general, interns will be in rotation for 8 hours between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM. Interns are generally in rotation 4 days a week with class day once per week. The majority of rotations will take place in-person; however, rotations may also include telemedicine and virtual learning opportunities. Clinical rotations  may require pre-work &/or knowledge from prior learning experiences.

Note: Interns should have a laptop and cell phone that meets minimum HIT requirements. For virtual experiences, interns should ensure laptop and/or cell phone is capable of joining  sessions via both microphone and video.

Rotation Locations

Majority of the rotations take place at the main UVA Medical Center which includes the hospital, the Emily Couric Cancer Center, West Complex, and the Battle Building (pictured below). Rotations may also take place at sites in the community or off the main medical center grounds. Interns may choose to utilize the University Transit System (UTS), the Charlottesville-Area Transit (CAT), or the hospital shuttle system to get to various off-site rotations. Two rotations (Oncology and Renal) include experiences at satellite and community locations,  which may require the intern to travel 45 minutes - 1 hour and 15 minutes for a limited number of days. With advanced notice, accommodations and/or adjustments to travel in rotation may be possible.
