Mount Carmel Health System Program

The Transitional Year Residency Program at Mount Carmel Health System is fully accredited by the ACGME and offers four positions. The program is designed to prepare residents for entry into specialty training in various areas and provides a broad range of training experiences, including active participation in patient care, teaching conferences, and self-study opportunities. Transitional Year residents work closely with categorical residents in internal medicine and surgery and have responsibilities and authority equal to their peers.

The program requires eight months of core medical rotations, including general internal medicine, critical care, emergency medicine, general surgery, and ambulatory. Residents also have the flexibility of four elective rotations in various sub-specialties. There is a strong emphasis on clinical research, with residents encouraged to take part in research projects and present their findings at different levels.

Mount Carmel Health System offers a program that provides hands-on training across specialties, emphasizing clinical research and a resident-centered approach. The program director highlights the collegial and low-stress learning environment that fosters camaraderie among residents. The curriculum includes protected time for conferences, procedural and clinical skills education, and a series that educates residents on common topics across programs.

For the application process, it's important to note that the program will not be accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year. However, historically, the Transitional Year program at Mount Carmel has been known for its success in training residents who later progress into specialty training or return to join the teaching faculty.

The website does not mention visa support or specific application requirements beyond the typical medical residency application process.
