Internal Medicine
The mission of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Morristown Medical Center is to train our residents to provide care that is compassionate, patient-centered, ethical and evidence-based. Whether as generalists or specialists, our graduates will be able to interact with community-based and academic physicians, advocate for patients from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and practice self-directed learning each day.
What makes the Morristown Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program different from other community hospitals in the Northeast? Why should residents train with us?
The answers are simple. We value our people, our place on the academic ladder, our patients, and the possibilities for personalized success that exist within each of our trainees. The size of our program means we know each of our residents as individuals. We understand their goals and aspirations. Our graduates’ success is the single most important measure of our own.
Our dynamic training program features:
- Dedicated faculty with a commitment to resident education
- Expert subspecialists
- Diverse cases and pathology in both acute care and chronic disease spectra
- Numerous ancillary services to facilitate care and learning
- A laboratory equipped with mannequins and a SimMan simulated patient to help train residents in emergency management and procedural skills
- Excellent location in a mild four-season climate
- Continual program assessment and improvement by residents and faculty
- Robust evaluations process
- Online curriculum and learning resources
- Resident autonomy in patient care
- Comprehensive core conference series for Board preparation and career planning
- Workshops and retreats
With more than 30 years of experience in medical education, I have found that residents themselves are key in creating a strong educational structure. The personal and professional needs of residents continually evolve over time. Our hands-on approach personalizes the potentially regimented process of graduate medical education and ensures that the needs of each individual are prioritized, rather than those of the hospital or the program.
