This is an institution with strong ties to Yale University School of Medicine and a demonstrated commitment to training humane and skilled physicians in more than 10 specialties and subspecialties. Our residents graduate to excellent primary care and post-graduate fellowship training positions. Graduates for 2002 have already been accepted to fellowships at Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and the National Cancer Institute. Resident trainees in Internal Medicine can expect to join a highly talented group of peers, many with advanced degrees and published scholarship. Three years of training at Bridgeport Hospital will, through a broad array of didactic and patient-care experiences, prepare you well for a career in Internal Medicine or for subspecialty fellowships.
Most residents continue scholarly activities to complement their clinical training.
The credo here is to make the most of your potential - the faculty is committed to help you meet this goal. I invite you to visit our program and judge for yourself whether this is the right Match for you. Educational programs in general internal medicine and the subspecialties provide a well-balanced mix of inpatient and outpatient volume, didactic and informal educational encounters, and clinical and basic biomedical research. Most of all, the Department of Medicine is proud of its teachers. Whether caring for dying patients and their families or placing stents into coronary arteries, its physicians are of the highest professional and personal integrity and enjoy imparting knowledge to others.
