Curriculum
The Department of Medicine is dedicated to providing a comprehensive curriculum to all medicine residents. The medicine curriculum offers a background in the principles and practice of general medicine, including geriatric and adolescent medicine, and other specialties. In addition, residents are introduced to general issues in ethics, quality assurance, risk management, and advance directives. All areas are taught by prominent physicians, ethicists, theologians, and other qualified personnel. 

Autopsy conferences, journal clubs, bedside rounds, and formal lectures are held regularly. Self-study computer programs and audiocassettes are available through the library and on the medical units. Residents in the third year are encouraged to participate in an external board-review course in medicine at the program�s expense. An in-house board-review course is mandatory.

Research Experience
Residents are encouraged to participate in clinical research projects with selected faculty members. In the second and third years, each resident must submit an abstract relating to a research project.

Conferences, Lectures, Didactics, and Rounds
A comprehensive conference schedule enhances the educational program. Many seminars, conferences, and lectures bring residents into close contact and consultation with a variety of disciplines, including the basic sciences. Core lectures in neurology and psychiatry and in other non-internal medicine specialties offer a broad-based vision of medical problems.

Our program is dedicated to excellence, with a strong emphasis on primary care that is continuous, cost effective and high quality.

Ambulatory Care Experience
Residents attend primary care clinics twice a week. During the three years of training the resident will experience office orthopedics, ENT, urology, psychiatry, and obstetrics and gynecology. An ambulatory medicine curriculum lecture series is conducted regularly.
