The Categorical Internal Medicine Program is designed to assure that each resident obtains a broad internal medicine foundation allowing for career options in both general and subspecialty medicine. Our residents are provided with faculty mentoring and career counseling to help them create individualized educational programs.
Each year has a particular focus. The emphasis during the first-year residents is on building clinical skills and finding their passion within internal medicine. Second year residents focus on clinical decision making and team management. In the third year, residents hone their skills with greater autonomy and focus on becoming leaders and educators.
