Internal Medicine Residency Program
Internal Medicine Residency Program
Why Choose Our Program?
With an emphasis on patient- and family-centered care and teaching, the Internal Medicine program at the University of Rochester combines innovative practices with exceptional bedside clinical teaching.
We believe that the best way to learn medicine is one patient at a time. The individual patient is the focus of all rounds and conferences, which often take place at the patient's bedside—a hallmark of a Rochester residency. We create an environment built on support for learners and unencumbered by hierarchy, emphasizing collegiality rather than competitiveness. We promote and expect the participation of all learners in academically rigorous discussions, and we keep our focus on helping our patients.
Five Keys to Your Success
- Supportive, collegial, and fun learning environment
- Biopsychosocial Model—we never lose sight of the whole patient
- Individualized educational plans to support residents’ evolving career goals
- Bedside learning at clinical rounds and conferences
- Our residents—who genuinely care as much about each others’ learning as they do about their own

What Our Residents are Saying
I feel absolutely prepared in the next phase of my career. The IM residency here provided the perfect balance of supportive supervision from my attendings, as well as the space to grow and develop autonomy. Faculty members were very approachable and eager to act as mentors in my career planning. Finally, the program's deeply rooted educational mission and collegial atmosphere contributed strongly to my personal professional development.

💭 Why did you choose to do a chief year?: “Since medical school, I have always looked up to the IM chief residents as role models. I wanted to be a leader for the residents and serve the residency program that has given me so much. It is also a gift to be surrounded by our brilliant program faculty and leadership as a doctor just out of training.”
🌟 Favorite thing about the IM Residency: “My GAMA clinic, the many wonderful faculty who I’m honored to call my mentors, emphasis on feedback, and morning report.”
