Welcome from the Program Director
I am delighted by your interest in our Medicine Residency Training Program at Boston University. As a former Resident, Chief Resident, Associate Program Director, and now Program Director, I can speak to the program’s commitment to excellence. I have experienced the immense growth and development of the program over the last 15 years. What has remained constant during this time is the unrelenting ambition and passion of our residents.
Through consistent collaboration of the faculty, staff, and residents, we strive to provide the strongest educational training possible. Residency council and town meetings enable residents to take an active role in curriculum planning and implementing change not only to improve their training experiences, but to improve training for future classes. Our residents are the driving force of our progress, and ultimately our greatest success.
We provide one-on-one mentorship to foster individual needs and goals. We realize that prospective residents may not have a clear sense of how their careers will develop in time. To us this curiosity and
flexibility is an asset which promotes exploration that is fostered through individualized subspecialty and elective rotations. In addition, Boston University Medical Center (BUMC), that VA Boston Healthcare System, and our Department of Medicine have an extensive and broad research portfolio, thus creating tremendous opportunities for our residents.
At BUMC, we have a strong commitment to caring for the underserved populations of Boston and its surrounding areas. Residents have the opportunity to work with a diverse faculty and patient population, which enables residents to not only graduate with a well-rounded medical experience, but also to be amongst the best trained internal medicine graduates in the country. Education is our top priority and is the gateway to providing “Exceptional care without exception.”
Through this website we hope to give you a sampling of some of the exciting opportunities within our Medicine Residency Training Program and institutions. If you are interested in more specific information, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to discuss any of the opportunities with you in detail.
Sincerely,
David A. Halle, MD
Assistant Professor of Medicine
