Internal Medicine

Excellence in medical education has been a tradition of Sisters of Charity Hospital for over 160 years. Combining hospital-based activities, a multifaceted outpatient experience, and an understanding of the realities of private practice within an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse patient population ensures a strong clinical experience for our residents.

We offer a fully approved, three-year program designed to satisfy the requirement for certification of the American Board of Internal Medicine to practice as a Board eligible/Board certified internist or entry into fellowship of a variety of subspecialty programs in internal medicine.

Our Program I.D. is 140-35-21-251

We do not offer any externships or observerships.

All applications must be submitted through ERAS.

Requirements

All Western New York candidates or candidates with strong local ties are welcome and encouraged to apply to our training program. All U.S. graduates must have a Dean’s letter.

For international medical graduates, our program requirements are as follows:

Applicants must have a graduation date from medical school of less than five (5) years;
U.S. clinical experience and/or scholarship is preferable but not required;
