Each rotation and major learning experience has a formal written curriculum that outlines the learning goals as well as the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be gained. It also describes the learning environment, available clinical resources and evaluation methods. The curricula meet ACGME and ABIM requirements, and are specific to each learning experience. Each curriculum may be tailored to meet the resident's individual learning needs. See the Critical Care Medicine curriculum as an example. If you would like to receive a copy of the curriculum for any other discipline, please contact us at

Inpatient MedicineResidents rotate on the inpatient service at Legacy Emanuel and Good Samaritan Hospitals. Teams are composed of one senior resident, one intern, and one to two medical students. Teams are fully supported in patient care by ancillary services (phlebotomy, EKG, etc.), social workers, pharmacists, respiratory support staff and other medical professionals to maintain excellent patient care and the best possible teaching setting.
Most patients on a resident team are covered by Teaching Hospitalists who work collaboratively with residents to care for patients. Residents also cover some of the patients admitted by private attending physicians. This mix allows residents both superb General Internal Medicine teaching and contact with community physicians who offer a "real-world" perspective. Residents have a high degree of autonomy in patient care, and we have a system in place to ensure that teams are not overwhelmed with too many patients.
Residents participate in daily formal teaching rounds with one of the Teaching Hospitalists as well as Chief of Service Rounds with the Program Director once a week. Rounds are a mix of bedside and conference room teaching, and offer residents a chance to discuss interesting cases and medical decision making. While on the inpatient services, residents also participate in a number of teaching conferences, including morning report, pulmonary rounds, noon conference and autopsy conference.
Interns are expected to assume primary patient responsibility, assisted by residents and attending physicians. Second and third year residents work with the intern and the medical students and round on all patients. They also serve as teachers, providing literature and educational support when necessary.
