We provide an unparalleled opportunity to develop procedural competencies while in residency. Our graduates complete training with a broad set of procedural skills. All resident will become privileged in the following procedures:
- Central venous catheter insertion
- Arterial catheter insertion
- Lumbar puncture
- Thoracentesis
- Paracentesis
- Pelvic exam
In addition to our required procedural competencies, many residents develop competencies in endotracheal intubation, arthrocentesis, incision & drainage, and punch biopsies.
In just one academic year, our residents logged over 1400 procedures.
All interns will spend dedicated time in one of our state of the art simulation centers, training in ultrasound techniques and bedside procedures.
Additionally, residents will perform various procedures on their patients while rotating on our robust critical care and wards rotations.
While the number and variety of procedures that internists perform has dwindled elsewhere over the years, the strength of our procedural training has only grown. We ensure that all of our graduates have the confidence and competence to perform all of the common medicine bedside procedures.
