Internal Medicine
The Internal Medicine Residency program supports twenty-four residents, eight at each training level and a chief medical resident. Graduates of our program receive training in educational pathways to become primary care practitioners, hospitalists or fellows in medical subspecialties.
- The curriculum provides optimal experiences in both ambulatory and inpatient medicine to assure education in a broad spectrum of internal medicine settings.
- Residents have ample opportunities for elective experiences, research, and exposure to complementary specialties such as gynecology and rehabilitation medicine.
- Core curriculum conferences, morning report conference, and bedside teaching rounds are an integral part of the learning milieu.
- Our six full-time and one part-time core faculty members are board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and members of the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM) faculty.
- Our program has a strong commitment to helping residents maintain a balance between their professional and personal lives.
- Residents help in the teaching and clinical supervision of medical students.
- In 2002 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) granted the Internal Medicine Residency program five years of continued accreditation without citation, the longest period of accreditation an internal medicine program can achieve.
- Our three year rolling first time rate for the American Board of Internal Medicine certifying exam is 95%. For those opting for primary care medicine, the Youngstown community has many practice opportunities.
Application Process:
We welcome your interest for training in our program. We are unable to provide observership or externship positions. We will begin accepting applications through Electronic Resident Application Services (ERAS) only, beginning September 1, 2007 and ending December 1, 2007 for the 2008 Match season. We accept applications from all interested applicants. At this time, we sponsor J-1 visas for international medical graduates only. It is a requirement for all medical students to have successfully passed both the USMLE steps I and II before beginning residency. You will not need to have ECFMG certification when applying, but will need it to be qualified for the match.
Additionally, for international medical school graduates, we do not require any US experience.
Minimal requirements are USMLE 1 and 2 scores of 80/80 on first take and graduation from medical school within three years of application. Interviews are by invitation only and applicants are notified of available interview dates through ERAS.
Residents are selected on a fair and equal basis without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
