How hard is CPMC’s Preliminary year compared with other programs?
This is a tough question to answer with 100% accuracy since “hard” is a relative term. There is very little scut work at CPMC, the food is good, the people are nice, the administrative support is excellent, the Program Directors and Chief Residents are approachable and supportive and residents and interns are kind to each other. The number of call months, elective-at-risk (“jeopardy”) and night float (1 month total) are about average for a Preliminary medicine program. The patient census and turnover are probably average or slightly above average for a Preliminary Program. Some interns have finished their Preliminary year stating that they thought the year was “cush” (as in cushy) while others have finished stating that they felt like they were “worked pretty hard” most of the year. Most, according to the annual survey and personal anecdote, feel that the year was about what they expected for an internship. We believe that our program is probably in the 75th percentile for difficulty b
