Residency Electives
Below is a list of the electives that are currently offered. The program is open to creating and exploring new electives proposals that will enhance the education of our residents.
Please be aware:
- Each resident will only be allowed to complete ONE “away” rotation. “Away” means any rotation not located within ECU Health Medical Center/ECU or its immediate affiliates (sites that we have traveled to while training, i.e Cherry/VA etc)
- To propose a “new” elective, please complete this form: Generic Electives Proposal Template (docx)
- Plan ahead! It can take over 6 months to get an elective proposal approved through the REC and through GME.
- To be considered, proposed “away” electives will only be considered if they provide an educational experience that is not already offered here locally.
- Complete the template and turn it in to the program director
- Plan your electives ahead of time.
