Bayhealth Internal Medicine Residency Program reviews applications received via ERAS on a rolling basis through the end of December. Interviews end mid-January – no application will be considered if received after the last interview date. The program number is #1400900091.

Bayhealth has plentiful research opportunities in each of the medical subspecialties, as well as opportunities for case presentations, performance improvement and curriculum development.  You will be assigned a research mentor in your area of interest, and we will provide you with guidance throughout the process.

Yes. After successfully completing step 3, being promoted by PGY-2 year and applying for a license, residents are allowed to work outside of the organization for moonlighting pay if approved by the program director. These hours will count towards duty hours and cannot exceed ACGME requirements.

Unfortunately, no. At least not yet. It is a myth that training at a community hospital is a barrier to getting into a fellowship. Fellowship directors, like program directors and medical student deans, are interested in talented, highly motivated and professional people. If that sounds like you, then you will get into a fellowship program. We will assist you by providing opportunities to do away electives at preeminent university centers so you can prove that you deserve a spot in their fellowship program. Completing research or scholarly activity is a requirement for all Internal Medicine residency programs, and is valued by fellowship programs when considering applicants.

Yes. We are very interested in recruiting highly qualified international medical graduates. We will accept residents on a J-1 visa sponsored by ECFMG. We will also consider sponsoring an H-1B visa for an exceptional applicant who is interested in remaining in Delaware after graduation. Please note that we cannot rank international medical graduates who are not ECFMG certified by the date Rank Order Lists are due in NRMP

Yes! Bayhealth became a core clinical campus for Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) in 2019, and currently have 15 students rotate each year! We host students from Drexel University School of Medicine on their Internal Medicine clerkship, and fourth year students from PCOM and Drexel during their sub-internships and Internal Medicine subspecialty rotations. Students from other schools may apply for rotations through VSLO beginning 2022-2023.

I’m glad you asked! Please visit our Discover Delaware page for more information. There is quite a bit to do in Delaware, more than you would realize. Living in Delaware is inexpensive, and the natural beauty of the state from the beaches to our state parks is second to none. Finally, we are close to all of the major cities on the East Coast, so if you want to get away for a weekend, you can affordably travel to New York City, Washington DC, Philadelphia or Baltimore. Did we mention you will be within 45 minutes of the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk? Grab us some caramel corn while you are there!
