The Internal Medicine Residency Program at UHS Hospitals has been a fully-approved Program for over 50 years . We are able to offer each Resident flexibility in their training to accommodate specific needs as well as provide them with the core curriculum essential for developing each one into excellent Internists. Patient load is adequate but not overwhelming in keeping with national accreditation guidelines Continuity Care Clinic offers the Resident experience in the continuity of care for the adolescent and adult patient in an outpatient setting on campus. Behavioral Science training taught by a PhD and ancillary staff includes interview skills, patient education, medical ethics, basic office psychotherapy, addiction medicine, etc.
Team approach to the medical floors.
Each team consists of an Attending, a PGY II or PGY III Resident, two or three PGY I Residents and medical students. The Attending Physicians round daily on their private patients with the Residents and conduct formal teaching Rounds at a minimum of three times a week. Work Rounds have been initiated prior to Morning Report. Attending Rounds are designed for teaching only, with a different faculty member rotating each month. Grand Rounds give you the most current information in diagnostic techniques an therapeutics.
