Categorical Internal Medicine Residency Program

Overview: Our mission is to prepare physicians to practice high-quality Internal Medicine and to deliver innovative and effective health care to society, now, and in the future. Our goal is to train Generalists who are able to use superior clinical judgment and practice independently. We emphasize evidence-based Medicine, clinical problem-solving, and the scientific method. We have designed a dynamic curriculum and a rich environment that promotes growth and independence.

The Categorical Internal Medicine Residency Program has an intern class of 26 and a total program size of approximately 85, including Chief Medical Residents. Each academic year is divided into thirteen 4-week block rotations that highlight both inpatient and outpatient experiences.

A small group of residents may enter either a Hospitalist or Women's Health track after completing a core internship common to all categorical residents. Differentiation into a Women's Health or Hospitalist track occurs in the second year, by way of approximately four specialized electives. Additional track-specific curricula may include a track-oriented second continuity clinic, research opportunities, journal clubs, and mentoring programs.

The core curriculum of the Residency Program involves General Inpatient Medicine, Ambulatory Care, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, electives, Geriatrics, and continuity clinics.
