The Mobile Infirmary Internal Medicine Residency Program follows a 4+2
block schedule, designed to provide a balanced, comprehensive education
in Internal Medicine. This model offers four weeks of inpatient or subspecialty
rotations followed by two weeks of dedicated ambulatory training in the
Mobile Infirmary Internal Medicine Clinic. The structure minimizes conflict
between inpatient and outpatient responsibilities, allowing residents
to focus intently on each area of learning.
Longitudinal Electives & Mentorship
During ambulatory blocks, residents can personalize their training through
longitudinal electives. These electives offer unique learning experiences
and the opportunity to build long-term mentoring relationships with faculty.
This individualized approach helps residents shape their future practice
and cultivate professional growth in their areas of interest.
Technology & Documentation
Epic is Infirmary Health’s Electronic Health Record (EHR), providing
a robust and user-friendly platform that enhances continuity of care and
supports efficient clinical documentation.
