The aim of the three-year program is to provide a thorough body of knowledge covering the broad spectrum of medicine that internists must master. Direct patient care is emphasized, with graduated increase in responsibility. Outpatient experiences occur throughout the three years and include a continuity experience with a panel of patients under direct faculty supervision in the Hospital's model teaching practice. Upon completion, the house officer is prepared for the primary care practice of Internal Medicine, for an academic career, or subspecialty training. In addition to inpatient care, each resident has regular office hours in the Women's Ambulatory Care Center under the supervision of a faculty member.
Residents build a private practice over the four years with complete continuity of care.
Residents are supervised by 10 full-time pathologists and four PhDs. Rotations through the ambulatory offices, general pediatric floor, newborn nursery, neonatal and pediatric intensive care services and elective subspecialty rotations provide comprehensive and complete pediatric education. Three residency positions are offered each year. Qualified medical students may be accepted after a year of post-graduate training. In addition to the Division of Diagnostic Radiology, the department has Divisions of Neuroradiology, Body Imaging, Nuclear Medicine and Physics.
