Academic Offerings

The Internal Medicine Residency Program offers a comprehensive range of academic activities to complement the diverse clinical training experiences of our residents. Our didactic schedule centers around the Academic Half Day (AHD) and is designed to be developed and refined annually. This yearly structure allows for the reinforcement of core principles while providing opportunities for residents to revisit and deepen their understanding of key lessons.

Weekly academic half day (AHD) is held on Wednesday afternoons and covers

Afternoon lectures

The program hosts afternoon educational sessions three days a week, primarily focused on clinical case discussions and board review.

PEAC Hopkin’s Modules

Outpatient teams are given protected time to complete and discuss assigned PEAC Hopkins, High-value care, and QI modules from the IHI Institute.

Simulation Lab

The program has partnered with a local community college and the Emergency Medicine (EM) faculty to develop a robust simulation curriculum. Simulation sessions, led by EM faculty, are held four times a year and focus on managing medical emergencies. Additionally, the critical care department conducts procedural simulations to further enhance residents' hands-on skills.
