The program, known as the “Transitional Year,” will begin in summer 2024 at the health system’s Sutter Roseville (Calif.) Medical Center. At first, it will only enroll 15, but could seek to expand the program’s capacity after its inaugural year.

Selected residents will be able to rotate through different medical and surgical specialties for short periods of time to get more of a hands-on glimpse at different areas they may want to go into. 

The Transitional Year program is the 17th accredited graduate medical education program operated by the health system. Annually, Sutter hopes to expand these programs and train upward of 800 residents per year.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
