Message from James Jewell, MD, Internal Medicine Program Director
"Welcome to the IM Residency website. Our goal is to show you how well balanced and supportive our program is with a very diverse patient population and a flexible curriculum. You will become skilled in both outpatient and inpatient medicine as well as critical care. There are students from many allopathic and osteopathic medical schools rotating at UHS Wilson Medical Center who add to the team effort and challenge your teaching skills. Our system depends on the resident to promote timely and contemporary patient care, manage resources and work with a wide variety of staff on many other clinical, social and ethical issues. We are very flexible in allowing the medical resident to choose the type of elective rotation they need for their career goals. We have options for ambulatory care, Hospitalist Medicine, or the subspecialties. Occupational Medicine, Sports Medicine, and Geriatrics are other developing areas.
Our largest growing area is Hospitalist Medicine. Many of our recent graduates have joined our team and we have integrated their services into our inpatient training as well. Special rotations with their team are available that include medical consultations and perioperative management.
By completing your residency with us, you will be well prepared for wherever your career takes you, be it practice, Hospitalist Medicine, or subspecialty training. I look forward to the chance to work with you."
