Our residents are very active in
organizations such as the American
College of Physicians. Residents
also serve on multiple hospital committees.

Most faculty offices are located on campus
or within a five-minute walk from the
hospital. Off-site rotations
at accredited institutions may be
approved based on the needs of the
individual residents.

We offer 25 paid vacation days, plus time off for meetings, taking
required examinations, and interviewing for fellowships. In-house
moonlighting opportunities are available.

New areas added to our curriculum include Evidence-Based
Medicine, Women’s Health, Sports/Occupational Medicine,
End of Life Care, and the Core Curriculum lecture series. The latter is a group of multidisciplinary lectures teaching the following: Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Communication and Interpersonal Skills, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice.

The computerized medical record system is fully available in the Internal Medicine Clinic, the medical library, resident office area, and hospital floors. Full Internet access is available in most areas, and online search programs are provided free of charge.

Our fellowship placement is excellent. Our graduates have chosen fellowships in institutions including Indiana University, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio State University, Duke University, University of Cincinnati, and the University of Kentucky, among others.

The benefit package includes a $4.000 "flexible spending account" to offset the expenses of textbooks, meetings, moving expenses, and housing. Meals (valued at approximately $275 per month) are provided free of charge in the hospital cafeteria.
