Academic Offerings

The Internal Medicine Residency Program provides a wide range of academic programs to supplement trainees' diverse clinical training experiences. Didactic schedule primarily revolves around the Academic Half Day (AHD) and will be developed yearly to be repeated each year, reinforcing values and providing opportunities for residents to revisit the lessons.

The program will hold a weekly half-day didactic block on Wednesday afternoons. This will be a protected time for resident’s education. Academic Half-day includes EKG and radiology series, Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program® (MKSAP) based board review, faculty-driven lectures, institutional requirements, wellness and group-based activities, simulation sessions, and journal clubs. This didactic series curriculum includes general and subspecialty medicine topics, wellness and leadership activities, and non-clinical topics like coding and billing, pharmacy services, clinical documentation, ethics updates, communication, and more.
