Appendix C: Graphic Display of the Curriculum

Using ONE of the three templates provided below for Appendix C, describe the typical curriculum for fellows. If more than one curricular option is offered, please copy the template and include all options available within the program, ensuring that each option is clearly identified.

Option 1 – Block Rotations in Months

Using the template provided below for Appendix C, describe in block form the typical curriculum for fellows by months including the institution (#1, 2, 3, 4) as listed in PIF Section 2. If you require an extended table, please e-mail your request to .

Curricular components may be offered in blocks or longitudinally. An example of the latter is a regularly scheduled clinic attended over a period of time while assigned to other rotations. Those components offered in block assignments each year should be recorded in the block template. Those clinical experiences offered longitudinally should be recorded separately in the longitudinal templates by year. You should not include conferences, lectures, or other didactic experiences in the longitudinal template.
