“I remember attending the CMC IM virtual open house like it was yesterday. The residents had such infectious energy and banter that I remember thinking ‘wow these people really like each other.’ It was the exact environment that I knew I wanted during my residency experience and I can say that after my three years here, it has been one of the best decisions of my life.
CMC has provided me with numerous mentorship and research opportunities while providing a diverse array of clinical experiences. The collegiality that we have at this institution is unmatched. I am very proud to be a graduate of the CMC Internal Medicine Residency. ;
Anika Noorali, MD (PGY-4, Chief Resident)
“It has been such a privilege to train at CMC. The environment is exceptional with attendings who are not only knowledgeable and dedicated to education, but approachable and supportive. Residents are encouraged to take on increasing responsibilities and grow independently. The collegiality is one of the programs greatest aspects and forms a strong bond among our residents. CMC has exceeded all of my expectations.”
Andrew Perry, DO (PGY-4, Chief Resident)
“Having the ability to train at a program as incredible as the IM program at CMC has been a truly rewarding and unique experience. The attendings are all exceptional educators who genuinely care about each patient’s well-being and they strike the perfect balance of providing support while also giving residents autonomy to grow throughout their training. There are ample opportunities for research, mentorship, medical education endeavors, advocacy, wellness, and DEI initiatives every single year. I am beyond grateful to be training at a program that provides an intimate learning environment while simultaneously allowing residents to see a wide array of complex pathophysiology. I cannot say enough great things about this program.”

Our residents receive longitudinal training in Quality Improvement (QI) throughout their residency. As a part of our QI curriculum, residents learn to evaluate their own practice and examine patient care in a systems-based manner. Our residents are provided “report cards” on their care of patients in their practice panel with diabetes, asthma, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. These reports are reviewed semi-annually with ambulatory faculty mentors. Following this review, residents develop an action plan for patients at highest risk for poor health outcomes in their practice panel.
