“When I was looking for a residency I wanted to come away confident and comfortable with practicing internal medicine. While in Spokane I was pushed to always think of what else could be going on and broadening my differential diagnosis. I came out of training and started my new job and have felt comfortable and confident with my very broad spectrum of learning I received in Spokane. I feel confident that I could have gone onto any sub-specialty fellowship, outpatient clinic setting, and been very prepared. I decided to go into hospitalist medicine and feel grateful for my time in Spokane Internal Medicine residency.”
Brent Duff, DOBoard Certified Internal Medicine, Hospitalist, St Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center, Twin Falls, ID
“I went to medical school at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, the world’s largest medical center. There I was surrounded by the newest technologies and the shiniest equipment, but I did not learn warmth and fellowship until I became part of the Spokane IMR program. I learned to take the very best care of my patients, not only because I was taught evidence-based medicine, but because I was cared for. This internal medicine training program is a place to get the very best training, with the very best family.”
Elise Walker, MDBoard Certified Internal Medicine, Health Texas Medical Group San Antonio, Texas
“The IMRS program has certainly prepared me for my career as a hospitalist. Although it is early in my career, I feel as if my medical knowledge is sound and comparable to that of my colleagues. In fact, I am frequently asked for my clinical opinion for others’ patients, even by some of the more seasoned hospitalists. I attribute this to the clinical teachings provided by the IMR residency program. I can honestly say I have had a smooth transition from residency to attendinghood, most certainly the result of an excellent internal medicine foundation afforded to me by the IMR program in Spokane”
Erin Kirkegaard, MDBoard Certified Internal Medicine, Providence Sacred Heart Hospitalist, Spokane, WA
“My 3-year resident training has resulted in me feeling very comfortable, right out of the gates, into the world as a Hospitalist in Seattle and Los Angeles. I completed the training very confident in my ability to take care of my patients with my gains in medical knowledge and procedural skills.”
Timothy Hatlen, MDBoard Certified Internal Medicine, Infectious Disease Fellow, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
