OSU Medical Center
Internal Medicine Residency
Program Description
The internal medicine residency has both a traditional and specialty fast-track program.
Fast-Track Program
The specialty track, beginning in the intern year, includes the basic rotations from the traditional internship, with additional emphasis on internal medicine specialties. The successful intern then moves into the internal medicine residency with advanced standing.
General Rotating Internship
The traditional three year internal medicine residency consists of
12 months of general internal medicine and ICU, 19 months of
specialty
training and five months of electives. The resident participates in an outpatient continuity of care clinic at the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine Health Care Center. Other clinics are involved in local residential centers. A strong ambulatory care program is included in the traditional program of medicine. An intensive, didactic program provides for daily morning report, active Harrison's Reading Club and formal lectures by the Department of Medicine.
This program will make the resident eligible to sit for the certifying examinations of the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM).
