The hospital is committed to providing a training environment that produces the highest-quality physicians for current and future practice environments. The hospital offers fully accredited three to six-year residency programs in various disciplines of clinical medicine, and accepts more than 100 residents each year.

In general, the residents rotate through ambulatory and inpatient units, the intensive care unit, the emergency department, and specialty laboratories. At the end of his/her training, the resident assumes full responsibility for his or her patients and a greater teaching role for fellow residents and medical students. The didactic teaching program generally consists of weekly case conferences, grand rounds with visiting speakers, subspecialty conferences, and core curriculum lectures based on the educational objectives as defined by the office on Medical Education and by individual departments.

In 1998, the hospital instituted a “Categorical (General) Internal Medicine” training program. The program stresses comprehensive training in general internal medicine after which residents practice primary-care general internal medicine or go on to enroll in advanced training programs in a subspecialty of medicine. Recently, the hospital began to offer an experimental “Postgraduate” training (PGY1) program for those requiring one year of general medicine or surgery training prior to entry into another medical field or subspecialty program. Those eligible for the PGY1 program are graduates of a newly approved 6-year curriculum program rather than the traditional 7-year curriculum.
