Our goal at Western Reserve Hospital is to produce competent physicians in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
- All of our first year residents have the same core rotations, participate in the PGY1 SIM Bootcamp, and attend weekly Clinical Foundations sessions, facilitated by the physician leaders of the hospital, during their first two months of residency.
- After the first year, residents are able to select their rotations based upon interest and aptitude, while still maintaining a balance of inpatient and outpatient clinic experiences.
- IM residents are partnered with a clinic preceptor from the surrounding community. The clinic preceptor mentors the resident for their entire three year residency.
- Additional sites for IM rotations include University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and Hospice of the Western Reserve.
- All IM Residents participate in monthly SIM sessions and are required to demonstrate competency in Intubations, Central Lines, and Art Lines.
- All WRH Residents participate in the annual WRH Research Expo, as part of the research curriculum at Western Reserve Hospital. Aimee DeWitt, our Research Coordinator, guides residents through the research process with individual meetings, and an optional research rotation.
