皇家华人 General Internal Medicine Primary Care Education
Residents in the General Internal Medicine Clinic
Residents have their own clinic, where they get to know their own panel of patients over a 3-year period, following them through all their health events. They are identified as 鈥渕y doctor鈥� by their patients and develop close relationships. Every resident is overseen by an attending, who supervises care, and teaches residents specifics around outpatient medicine. Residents also work closely in teams, including social workers, pharmacist, medical assistants, and nurse practitioners to care for their patients. Given the educational atmosphere, residents are able to discuss patients in a conference with their team, truly providing exceptional and cutting-edge care for their patients.
Sixteenth Street Community Center Partnership
In partnership with the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers (SSCHC), the Internal Medicine Residency program now offers a continuity clinic site at SSCHC that helps to train future internal medicine physicians on the unique needs of vulnerable, marginalized, and immigrant populations. In addition, this continuity clinic offers opportunities to learn about and care for people living with HIV, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and care of LGBTQA+ populations. This is an area of increasing importance and national focus for training programs, and we are excited to be at the cutting edge of this work.
