The Boston University Medical Residency Program offers comprehensive training in Internal Medicine by combining the extraordinary clinical opportunities of our affiliated hospitals and clinics with the rich academic resources of one of the country’s leading research intensive Departments of Medicine. The program is based at Boston Medical Center formed by the merger of Boston City Hospital and Boston University Medical Center Hospital. BMC is the principal teaching affiliate of the Boston University School of Medicine. Our program is also closely affiliated with the VA Boston Healthcare system and several community health centers in Boston. The program has a remarkable legacy of rigorous academic and clinical training. This history serves as the standard of excellence for implementing innovative changes in residency training that respond to the learning needs of our residents. We continuously seek to create innovative approaches to enrich training in the residency program. For example, we developed a new schedule in 2010-11 in which the categorical interns and residents rotate on the inpatient wards or electives for three weeks without outpatient responsibilities followed by one week exclusively devoted to general medicine and specialty clinics – the 3+1 model. In 2009-2010, we started an academic half day for the ambulatory rotation. The Boston University Residency Program offers all the advantages of a large and diverse department, balanced with close support of each resident. Each house officer is assigned to an associate program director who meets regularly with them to discuss evaluations, career plans and important personal and professional concerns. The leadership includes the Program Director, Vice Chair for Education, Associate Program Directors, PGY 4 Chief Residents and Evans Educators, who all work together to design curricula and innovative programs, provide valuable teaching and mentor and support residents.
The faculty of the Department of Medicine are organized in a number of Sections, which include not only the usual medical subspecialties but also a number of special research sections. Use the links below to learn more about each section of the Department of Medicine:
