Surgery (2 months)
The surgery rotation provides residents a broad range of training and experience from the handling of major trauma to "lump and bump" office procedures. The resident gains experience in the delivery of pre- and post-operative care, as well as experience in operating room procedures. Competency in minor surgical techniques and outpatient surgery is stressed. The program may be tailored to meet special demands of the resident expecting to practice in a rural area. Graduates currently practicing in rural areas perform procedures such as: hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, upper and lower endoscopies, carpel tunnel release, appendectomies, tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and tympanostomy tube placement.

Rural Medicine (2 weeks)

Every second year resident spends two weeks in a rural Utah community learning small town Family Medicine. The resident participates in outpatient, inpatient, obstetrical, and emergency care while on this rotation. Housing is provided. Residents are also encouraged to explore community resources and the differences between rural, suburban and urban medicine.

Psychiatry (1 month)
The behavioral health training consists of longitudinal training, as well as a one-month rotation based on a combination of hospital and community experiences. Residents treat a variety of patients with psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. There is ongoing collaboration and consultation on selected cases during each year of the residency. The training can be tailored to fit the needs of the individual resident.

Emergency Medicine (2 months)
The emergency medicine rotation is completed at McKay-Dee Hospital, which is a Level II Trauma Center serving Northern Utah and Southern Idaho through the busiest ED in the state. Residents receive training in the management of a wide range of medical and surgical emergencies, and acquire competency in CPR, endotracheal intubation, and the initial management of both major and minor trauma victims. This is often the resident's highest rated experience.

Community Medicine (2 weeks)
During the first year, each resident spends 2 weeks visiting various community resources and working at the local health department and homeless shelter medical clinics.

Geriatrics (2 weeks and longitudinal)
Residents will spend 2 weeks working with local geriatricians. 2nd and 3rd year residents will have a couple of assigned patients at a local nursing home with the medical director, who also provided some didactic teaching in geriatric care.
