Peds doesn't surprise me, most schools only do 1 Peds rotation as a core, and most Peds is outpatient. IM is kind of a big part of cores though, and while a big chunk is general outpatient it's basically the only real inpatient medicine most places always have.
My school does a 3 month block of IM and most schools at least do 2 in 3rd year. I can't imagine doing all strictly outpatient for all the straight medicine training. It makes me glad my school is moving toward everyone going to a regional campus (an actual hospital, but obviously some are smaller and see less path) for their cores.
