    University of Wyoming

    Resident Rotations/Curriculum


    Family Medicine

    Family Medicine is taught throughout the three-year program, both in the Family Medicine Center and during the eight months of Family Medicine rotations in the hospital. During the In-Patient Family Medicine rotation, a team of residents provides care for the patients on our hospital service. During this time, residents also serve as consultants for patients hospitalized by other physicians. Supervision is provided by the faculty.

    Adult Medicine

    Eight months of adult medicine experience is required through the three years of training. Educational experiences occur at the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, the Veteran's Administration Medical Center and local physicians' offices. Cases range from general medical problems to critical care. Residents have the opportunity to work with sub specialists in the fields of allergy and immunology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology-oncology, nephrology, neurology and pulmonology.

    OB/GYN Care

    Residents have five required months of obstetrical experience under the supervision of the program faculty and community physicians. Residents will gain experience in labor management and delivery including vacuum extraction, forceps and operative obstetrics. During this time, residents will also participate in gynecologic surgeries. Residents who desire advanced training have the opportunity to gain additional experience in high risk and operative obstetrics. All residents will manage prenatal patients in the Family Medicine Center and follow them through delivery and postpartum care. During this time, residents have the opportunity to become proficient in colposcopy, LEEP, edometrial biopsy and IUD insertion.

    Care of Infants, Children & Adolescents

    Residents have four months of required pediatric experience. First-year residents spend one month in Denver, Colo., doing in-patient pediatrics. Second-year residents return to Denver for one month of neonatology/pediatric emergency room experience. Two months of additional pediatric experience occurs, one month of out-patient pediatrician in the second year and one month in the third year, with local physicians. Additional experience in neonatology occurs during the required obstetrical rotations.

    Care of the Surgical Patient

    Residents have two required months of general surgery plus additional rotations in ENT, orthopedics, optometry and urology. All residents will become proficient in managing pre- and post-operative patients along with developing strong surgical assist skills.
