We consider applicants from ALL types of residency programs.

We seek to train fellows to be outstanding practitioners, lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and patient advocates.

The program seeks to provide an educational environment conducive to a lifetime of study, problem-solving, and excellent clinical judgment.

Goals:
  • Promote maximum achievement in each fellow by identifying their individual strengths and weaknesses in the core competencies of Internal Medicine.
  • Develop measures designed to improve deficiencies and assess progression toward mastery in each of the six defined core competencies which include: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal Skills and Communication, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice.
  • Foster a commitment to academic achievement by emphasizing the importance of research and investigation both as a career choice and as a means of incorporating principals of critical thinking into each fellow's clinical practice, continuing education, and professional development.
  • Work with each fellow to formulate long-term career goals.
  • Ensure that each fellow is successful in becoming a board-eligible and board-certified physician in Clinical Informatics.
