Internal Medicine Residency
Curriculum
Our Unique Approach
Similar to your rigorous education and preparation for residency, our faculty undergo in-depth training of their own in order to best lead and guide your experience.
The backbone of our curriculum is a 3+1 schedule. X+Y scheduling has been the most important innovation in internal medicine education during the last decade, and our schedule proudly balances inpatient and outpatient experiences, work and life, while maintaining continuity and building relationships.
