hospital777: Mount Auburn Hospital offers a three-year categorical medicine track and a one-year preliminary medicine track.
Our three-year categorical internal medicine track prepares our resident trainees for board certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine and careers that cover the full spectrum of opportunities in both general internal medicine and medicine sub-specialties. Resident trainees are able to tailor their flow of the 36 months of training to obtain the strong background and excellent clinical skills to pursue subsequent careers in primary care practice, hospitalist medicine, and placement in competitive sub-specialty fellowship training programs.
One way we support our trainees in their intended career goals is through our use of defined pathways. These pathways, in sub-specialty fellowship, primary care, hospitalist medicine, and medical education, outline for the trainee the milestones that should be met throughout the course of training. Please see the section on Feedback and Evaluation System and the section on Resident Outcome for more information about how we achieve our success with residents achieving their career goals.
The preliminary medicine internship track offers one year of training in medicine for physicians who will continue their training in specialties other than internal medicine, such as radiology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, radiation oncology, neurology, dermatology, physical medicine & rehabilitation, and others. This track's major strength - as well as its major attraction - is that the year is virtually identical in structure and content to the first year for physicians who train at Mount Auburn Hospital for three years in the categorical internal medicine track. The only difference being the quantity of ambulatory medicine experience, because preliminary interns are not assigned a continuity clinic during their year.
