Message From The Program Director
The ability to care for patients with a wide range of clinical problems is one of the
distinguishing characteristics of the internist. This ability is fostered by experience
on general medical services, both inpatient and outpatient, with exposure to a wide
spectrum of diseases in various stages of acuity.
During training, the resident should work diligently to learn the pathophysiology
and mechanisms of disease, the skills of interviewing, and the art of
communication. A resident should develop the interpersonal skills that are
necessary to elicit and record a thorough and accurate history, to establish and
maintain a therapeutic physician-patient relationship, and to implement optimal
medical management. A resident should concentrate on his/her examination skills
and interact in developing these skills with fellow residents, attending physicians,
and other health care workers. A team approach is an important aspect of the
practice of internal medicine, and residents should take the opportunity to function
in harmony with other members of the health care team and become proficient as
leaders in the organization and management of patient care. The residency
program must place emphasis not only on medical problems, but also on health
promotion, cultural, socioeconomic, ethical, occupational, environmental, and
behavioral issues. In addition, the impact of illness on other aspects of life, with
special emphasis on the family, must be stressed. Residents must develop the
ability to treat patients humanistically.
The primary goals of The Jewish Hospital Internal
Medicine Residency Program are:
The Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati Internal Medicine Residency Program is
dedicated to achieving the goals and standards outlined above for each of its
