The Internal Medicine Residency Program at Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital offers a unique combination of comprehensive training and outstanding lifestyle. The residency is designed to train internists in primary care as well as consultative medicine. This training is accomplished through extensive experience in inpatient services, subspecialty electives, weekly continuity care clinics, and a well-focused didactic curriculum. The program's philosophy is to provide experience in the broad field of Internal Medicine and to prepare physicians to practice competent primary care in this specialty, whether they choose to practice general medicine, enter academics or pursue further postgraduate training.
Elective flexibility allows each resident to customize the program to suit individual interests.
The Internal Medicine residency is a fully accredited three-year program. In addition, the program offers one-year preliminary internal medicine positions. The Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital residency program is an affiliate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and residents participate in subspecialty and elective rotations at that institution throughout their training. A variety of electives are also available with private physician groups and clinics. The Internal Medicine Residency Program excels in providing residents training experience and responsibility in both inpatient and outpatient general medicine, as well as all medical subspecialties.
