The Internal Medicine Residency at Conemaugh is a three-year experience offered in affiliation with Temple University School of Medicine. The program prepares graduates for the practice of ambulatory general internal medicine, careers as hospitalists, or subspecialty fellowship training. Internal Medicine residents in our program develop their clinical skills in an academic, scientific, ethical, and humanistic environment.
Emphasis is placed upon resident education with four major educational events each day.
Service sizes are carefully monitored and adjusted daily to avoid excessive resident workloads. Laboratory, Radiology, Respiratory Care, and other ancillary services assist physicians with the care of their patients 24 hours a day. Resident call schedules, rotations, and vacations are adjusted to provide adequate time away from duties to prevent fatigue and allow for personal development and study. The training in Internal Medicine at Conemaugh is a graduated experience. PGY-1 residents concentrate on patient management under the supervision of more senior residents and faculty members.
