The goal of the Internal Medicine Residency Program is to develop outstanding internists through superior training in primary care for hospital medicine or for subsequent fellowship training in a variety of sub-specialties. The program learning environment allows each resident to acquire not only the requisite clinical skills and medical knowledge, but also the professional attitudes and behaviors, effective communication technique and self-assessment tools that are essential to the successful practice of medicine.

“Huntington Hospital IM program provides a perfect balance for the training I wanted. It is small enough that you know everyone, including sub-specialist attendings with whom you directly work, your attendings who quickly become confidants and advisors, and your co-residents who truly become family. The hospital is also large enough to give you diversity and high-acuity patients, allowing you to see bread and butter cases as well as manage strokes, STEMIs, and level 1 traumas.”

“When considering Huntington Hospital, the term ‘Huntington Family’ is not only a commonly spoken phrase, but more of a mentality and a foundation to our success. Our doctors take pride and ownership of their failures and successes, and are here to help carry each other when in need. I know that this is a place where we prioritize success as a whole, and not individual accolades. This way of being carries us through difficult and stressful times, as we know that the Huntington Family is something we can depend on.”
