• A full spectrum of patients and medical problems with an emphasis on "hands on" training where residents are responsible for the direct management of their patients.
• In-depth experience in intensive care including Critical Care Units, Cardiac Care Units and Emergency Room.
• Ongoing experiences in ambulatory care which include six 2 week blocks of protected time over the year during which the resident assumes primary responsibility of a panel of patients either in a hospital based clinic or at a community health center. The schedule is supplemented with other educational clinical experiences in other medical and non-medical subspecialty clinics and in community based preceptorships.

Two training tracks

Categorical Medicine: A fully accredited three year program leading to board eligiblity in Medicine.
After three years of training, residents are fully prepared for any career in medicine they choose: general internal medicine (primary care, clinician educator or hospitalist) or medical subspecialty .

Preliminary Program: A one year experience designed to form a solid foundation in clinical internal medicine for those entering other specialties. When possible, individualized programs may be arranged to fulfill specific needs or interests (e.g. residents entering ophthalmology may spend extra time in neurology). All preliminary interns have six weeks of elective time.
