title: A structured career-immersion experience in the third year of residency training.
abstract: This is the second in a series of 4 articles that highlight the projects that were chosen for implementation by the Initiative for Innovation in Pediatric Education (IIPE) review committee in response to the 2009 call for letters of intent. The authors describe their progress to date in implementing a training experience that allows residents the opportunity to engage in a longitudinal clinical experience that is aligned with their ultimate career choice. Mentors play a critical role in this immersion experience.
