Internal Medicine Residency

 

Program Information

 

Didactic sessions are a regularly scheduled component of each resident’s day. Daily noontime conferences integrate the theoretical, scientific and practical aspects of internal medicine. Discussions emphasize salient points of diagnosis and therapy, as well as the financial, social and ethical implications of medical decisions. Lunch is provided so our residents can nourish their bodies simultaneously with their brains.

 

Internal Medicine Grand Rounds every Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. covers a wide spectrum of timely topics. Once each month, internal medicine residents present either an "unknown" case in a CPC format (the cases are discussed by a member of the medical staff, the pathologist presents the answer, and the resident then gives a brief review of the disorder) or present a series of brief clinical vignettes.

 

Chief’s Conference is scheduled each Friday and once each month residents present "potpourri" - a series of interesting cases.
