SECRETS OF OUR SUCCESS

We anticipate residents' needs and are proactive in meeting them (no major adjustments to meet 80-hour work week limits).
The St. Vincent Charity Hospital/Saint Luke's Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program is driven by residents.
Program Director constantly searches for ways to improve the program and involves residents in all aspects of the process - from generating the ideas to implementing them.
Features: - Annual resident retreat to evaluate program - Program Director's and Program Administrator's doors are always open - Program Director is committed to residents.
Responsibilities for patient care are shared between interns, residents and attending physicians; interns are never left alone to make difficult decisions. Medicine here is a team effort.
Rich network of subspecialists available to residents for consultation.
Continuous personal feedback - where you stand, what is working well and what still needs some polishing - also includes: - semi-annual reviews with Program Director - verbal evaluations at the end (and often, during) each rotation.
Procedure documentation and evaluation system verifies your skills for credentialing when you apply for a position after residency.
In-Training Examinations will tell you what you need to emphasize to ensure passing the ABIM Certifying Examination.
360° evaluations for all members of St. Vincent Charity Hospital with the use of MyEvaluations.com - the complete online evaluation procedure, duty-hour and resident training system.
Our Residency Office staff is great - friendly, helpful and supportive.
