Enjoy life in Sioux Falls.
Our program operates in a 4+2 schedule with many associated merits. This scheduling model has greatly improved work-life balance, improved our residents’ ability to achieve amazing results in scholarly activity, and nation-leading scores on objective medical knowledge examinations. This is largely due to the protected time for self-study, research, and fun. Our model allows for weekends off during ambulatory blocks and most electives. Call is eliminated with this model and night shifts occur only 1 week during your Inpatient Teaching Service’s only. This allows ample time to hang out with friends and enjoy Sioux Falls with sidewalk festivals, Farmer’s markets, and other food/shopping events.
