- Individualized Curriculum: Our program offers a truly customizable curriculum that supports each resident’s unique path. With flexible electives, dedicated mentorship, and opportunities to design personalized learning experiences, residents can design their training to match their evolving interests. We believe your residency should reflect your goals, not be a one-size-fits-all model.
- Ground-floor program development: As part of a new and growing residency program, our residents have a rare opportunity to help shape the culture, curriculum, and traditions of the training environment. Resident voices are not only welcomed – they are essential to building something meaningful and sustainable! This is a program where innovation is encouraged, feedback drives real change, and residents become leaders in program development from day one.
- HOUSE Model: Our residency is divided into for HOUSEs, thereby creating smaller communities within the program. Residents will care for their panel of HOUSE patients in high-functioning teams, receiving individualized education and mentorship from faculty, staff, and interdisciplinary professionals. Through your HOUSE, we are able to accomplish longitudinal, comprehensive, and holistic care across all the settings our patients may receive care. Think of the traditional model of internal medicine in which the same physician cares for each patient in the clinic, hospital, and all places in between, but we do this as a team!
This model allows our residents to learn about the comprehensive patient experience and their disease course over time, while also fostering experiences and relationships within our larger residency community. - Emphasis on understanding our community and the continuum of healthcare our patients interact with during our Community Medicine, Transitions, and Population Health rotations. Our residents will receive hands-on clinical experience in community health centers and other community organizations during their Community Medicine rotation. This curriculum emphasizes the impact of social determinants of health, structural barriers to care, and the importance of culturally responsive care delivery. During Transitions, residents are immersed in the clinical environments that fall between traditional inpatient hospitalization and outpatient care. To bring everything together, Population Health is an opportunity to examine objective data about the health of our community, and our residents are tasked to propose systems-based solutions for our patients to get – and stay – well.
