Board Review
Our residency provides a comprehensive Board Review Program designed to prepare residents for their board certification exams. This program is structured to ensure that all participants have the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel. Throughout the three-year residency program, sessions are scheduled regularly. However, more intensive sessions are held with greater frequency during the first year for Step 1 preparation and during the third year for the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam.
In our residency program, research and scholarly activity are central to physician training. We foster an environment of academic excellence and innovation, providing ample opportunities for residents to participate in research across various internal medicine subspecialties. Through monthly journal clubs, residents refine their research literacy in areas such as design, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and application. We actively support residents in presenting their research projects at scientific meetings, with assistance from our faculty and mentors across various internal medicine subspecialties, as well as dedicated statisticians and specialists proficient in IRB protocol writing, study design, and manuscript preparation.
Research and Scholarly Activity
Primary Care Track
​At the end of PGY1, residents have the option to either continue along the traditional hospitalist route or transition into the Primary Care Track.​
​
The Primary Care Internal Medicine Track offers a specialized focus on ambulatory medicine alongside hospital-based experiences in General Medicine, Medicine Subspecialties, and Critical Care. Residents in the Primary Care IM Track spend 1 full day per week in our continuity clinic, the Downtown Health Clinic, located in Flint, Michigan. Residents in the Primary Care Track enjoy increased flexibility in choosing rotations, educational opportunities, and patient care experiences within the primary care setting. This track does not preclude residents from pursuing Internal Medicine subspecialties.
