Internal Medicine Curriculum

The curriculum is based on the six core competencies of ACGME (patient care, medical knowledge, professionalism, systems based practice, interpersonal and communication skills and practice based learning and improvement). Our aim is to make sure that residents acquire a graduated level of autonomy, and improve their knowledge base and confidence as they progress from their PGY1 to PGY3 years.

• Wards – General Internal Medicine
• Continuity Clinic - Borrego Health
