General Internal MedicineThe General Internal Medicine Pathway provides career enhancing experiences beyond traditional residency training with special emphasis on general internal medicine, both in the outpatient and inpatient setting. Residents who participate in this pathway receive hands on skills in procedural workshops, early access to ACP lobbying day in Washington, DC, dedicated didactics, exclusive access to selected electives (ie. dermatology, urgent care), carry out a Capstone Project, and a certificate of completion at graduation.
Medical EducationThe Medical Education Pathway is a longitudinal, interactive program designed for residents pursuing a career in academic medicine as well as those applying for fellowship. Fellows are often called upon to teach residents and medical students and deliver presentations that include grand rounds and national conferences. Participants have the opportunity to attend workshops including: small group teaching, bedside teaching, formal lecturing/public speaking, breaking down/teaching evidence based medicine, giving feedback, and innovative teaching methods. It concludes with a scholarly activity and a certificate upon graduation.
