Dear Candidate,

I would like to present our unique Internal Medicine Residency Program combining the best of university and community training. A challenging academic environment is the result of an exceptional local faculty and Yale School of Medicine that provides two to three lectures weekly in Greenwich and tertiary electives in New Haven.   Greenwich Hospital is recognized for exceptional patient satisfaction and service excellence providing a collegial  atmosphere for learning. Your quality of life is enhanced by the charm of Greenwich, Connecticut, forty-five minutes from midtown Manhattan and the convenience of living in hospital housing, a five-minute walk from the  hospital. Wellness here is a reality not merely a goal.

In the past five years, 32 categorical residents have graduated. Of these, 20% practice primary care, 38% are hospitalists, 41% have matched into fellowship and 81% are board certified.

Our commitment to wellness, quality, safety and process improvement integrates residents in every aspect of  institutional culture. Residents lead House Staff Quality and Safety, Wellness and Professionalism Committees. In addition to Yale lectures didactics include a robust Ambulatory Care Curriculum, weekly Board Review sessions, resident led Journal Clubs, M&M Conferences, Resident's, and Chief's Reports. Weekly Code Simulations and procedure training occur in a high-fidelity Simulation Center. Our Point of Care Ultrasound curriculum develops this skill in the residents. Clinical training in Ambulatory Care takes place in a Federally Qualitied Health Center and includes experiences in a wide variety of Internal Medicine and non-Medicine specialties while stressing High vcdue  primary care, continuity, prevention and attention to health care disparities. Residents cooperatively create their  call schedules and meet regularly with me and with the Chief Resident. Strict adherence to workload caps and work hour restrictions ensures adequate rest and optimal learning and patient care. 

After reviewing our web site, should you apply for training at Greenwich Hospital and are invited to interview, you will see for yourself how an exceptional educational experience in Internal Medicine can co-exist with a high quality way of life. We truly look forward to remotely meeting you.

 Sincerely yours,
