The Transitional Year Internship Program is a rigorous 1-year
training experience designed to give you a solid foundation in clinical
medicine that will prepare you for any residency program. You will
have the advantages of training in a community hospital setting
while being part of the larger Harvard Medical School community.
Our patient population is the highlight of our training program.
Cambridge Health Alliance serves a large immigrant population and
interns enjoy the opportunity to take care of patients from diverse
ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. You will take primary responsibility
for your patients while being closely supervised by senior residents
and Attendings.
Rotations include inpatient medicine, critical care, ambulatory
medicine, emergency medicine and pediatrics. All interns participate
in quality improvement projects. A wide selection of electives offered
at any of the area teaching hospitals gives you the opportunity
to tailor your training to meet your individual learning needs.
The curriculum for each rotation emphasizes the six ACGME competencies:
Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice Based Learning and Improvement,
Professionalism, Interpersonal and Communication Skills and Systems
Based Practice. Our program emphasizes frequent feedback and evaluation
so that you are ensured to have a solid training experience.
Faculty are dedicated to housestaff training and professional development.
The small size of the program offers the advantage of individualized
teaching and mentoring. Your training experience will be enhanced
by small group teaching, problem based learning, bedside teaching
and didactic lectures. Extensive hospital-based and on-line resources
are available for self-directed learning.
Our program attracts highly dedicated candidates with excellent
academic records and diverse interests. Housestaff have a strong
collegial spirit and lifelong friendships develop during this intense
training experience. Graduating Transitional Year interns leave
with a wonderful sense of accomplishment, personal, and professional
growth and remain connected to us in spirit as they move on to pursue
their residency training.
