The Internal Medicine Residency Program began at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1946. It has an established physician education program that is academically rigorous but different from traditional University programs. The program has prided itself on the training of physicians competent in practicing adult medicine who have also developed special skills necessary to practice in the current and emerging practice environment, including knowledge of population-based care, quality measurement and improvement, information management and technology, and teamwork and collaboration.

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is a 545-bed hospital situated in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It functions as a tertiary hospital for transfers from surrounding community hospitals including St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Brighton, St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital in Saline, St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, and Chelsea Community Hospital. The local area is consistently rated as one of the best places to live nationwide.

In addition to core training in Internal Medicine, our program provides the following unique opportunities:

• Training in all aspects of adult medicine by a core faculty of general internists and Internal Medicine-Pediatric physicians who are also all practicing physicians. Outpatient clinics are both hospital and community-based and include the Eastern Michigan University student health service. Subspecialists complement and are actively involved in all aspects of training.
• An inpatient service supervised by an academic hospitalist.
• An exciting and unique clinical research program for our residents.
• Opportunities for competitive subspecialty fellowship placement.
