- Curriculum
The Internal Medicine resident curriculum is aimed at providing broad-based exposure to all fields of medicine designed to provide training in comprehensive patient management on in the primary care setting. Emphasis is placed on establishing continuity of patient care between the outpatient and inpatient settings. The degree of patient care responsibility is progressive with each year of training. Daily didactic protected time with an emphasis on teaching and learning through clinical cases is an integral part of the curriculum.
Monthly subject-based exams with an emphasis on preparation for ABIM Boards, along with lectures by divisional subspecialists creates a learning environment which has perennially proven to put the Jamaica Hospital Internal Medicine program in the top 5% of IM residency programs in IM Board pass rates.
The residency curriculum is broken down into a block schedule consisting of 26 blocks of 2 weeks duration each.
