Dear Candidate,
I would like to present our unique Internal Medicine Residency Program combining the best of university and
community training. A challenging academic environment is the result of an exceptional local faculty and Yale
School of Medicine that provides two to three lectures weekly in Greenwich and tertiary electives in New Haven.
Greenwich Hospital is recognized nationally for exceptional patient satisfaction and provides a collegial
atmosphere for learning. Your quality of life is enhanced by the charm of Greenwich, Connecticut, forty-five
minutes from midtown Manhattan and the convenience of living in subsidized hospital housing, a five-minute walk
from the hospital. Wellness here is a reality not merely a goal.
In the past five years, 33 categorical residents have graduated. Of these, 15% practice primary care, 27% are
hospitalists and 55% have matched into fellowships. Our three-year rolling ABIM pass rate is 89%.
Our commitment to quality, safety and process improvement integrates residents in every aspect of institutional
culture. Residents lead House Staff Safety, Wellness, Professionalism and Diversity, Equity/Inclusion Committees.
In addition to Yale lectures didactics include daily Ambulatory Care Conferences, weekly Board Review sessions,
resident led Journal Clubs, M&M Conferences, Resident Wellness meetings, Morning, and Chief's Report. Weekly
Code Simulations and procedure training occur in a high-fidelity Simulation Center. Our Point of Care Ultrasound
curriculum develops this skill in the residents. The Ambulatory curriculum includes experiences in a wide variety of
Internal Medicine and non-Medicine specialties while stressing High value primary care, continuity, prevention and
attention to health care disparities. Residents cooperatively create their call schedules and meet regularly with me
and with the Chief Resident(s). Strict adherence to workload caps and work hour restrictions ensures adequate
rest and optimal learning and patient care.
After reviewing our website, should you apply for training at Greenwich Hospital and are invited to interview, you
will see for yourself how an exceptional educational experience in Internal Medicine can co-exist with a high
quality of life. We truly look forward to remotely meeting you.
Sincerely yours,
