Internal Medicine Residency Program


The Internal Medicine Residency Program has recently undergone an exciting transition from Synergy Medical Education Alliance to Central Michigan University Medical Education Partners the proposed East Campus of the CMU College of Medicine currently in candidate status. The residency program is a fully accredited three year program for eight residents each year.
 
Our goal is to train residents in a team oriented, supportive but competitive environment. The program provides the resources for residents to acquire the knowledge and skills to become a competent internist well prepared to enter practice as a hospitalist, primary care physician, academic internist or pursue a career in subspecialty medicine. We welcome you to visit our campus to learn more.
 
The Department places a strong emphasis on academics through a varied and comprehensive educational program from simulated training to combined specialty conferences. Use of the latest educational technology is emphasized. Demonstrating the robust academics in our program, our residents have been first runners up at the regional ACP meeting for two consecutive years.

While formal didactic conferences are considered critical to support clinical education, our program ensures that residents are able to apply their knowledge at the patient bedside to a population with diverse medical conditions. Our faculty devote more than twelve hours per week to academic teaching.
 
During the past several years our program boasts a 100% first time board pass rate. While the program prepares graduates seamless transition into hospital based medicine many of our graduates choose subspecialty training. In last year’s fellowship match our residents were selected into fellowships in Critical Care, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Critical Care Nephrology and Endocrinology at such places as Henry Ford Hospital, University of Texas, University of Oklahoma and Texas A & M
 
Our residents are provided ample time to complete required research projects and other scholarly activities. Our department recently added dedicated faculty support to ensure residents receive adequate clinical support for their projects.
