Primary Care Track – Internal Medicine – STHC
Overview
Our primary care track prepares graduates to hit the ground running in the ambulatory setting post-graduation.
- Focused didactics and mentorship with primary care faculty, including community field trips and specialty elective opportunities such as gynecology, gender clinic, addiction medicine, sports medicine.
- Additional exposure to GIM (General Internal Medicine) outside of your continuity clinic. At least 8 weeks spread over 2 years in 2-week blocks. Opportunity to work in another clinic gaining mentorship, further exposure to more common outpatient concerns as well as general tips to a successful outpatient practice.
- Track allows flexibility for careers in hospital and/or ambulatory setting, meeting all graduation requirements; additionally, it includes experiences valuable for applying for ambulatory-based fellowships.
- Potential for less ICU time to allow for more ambulatory electives; all primary care track residents still meet ACGME requirements for graduation.
