INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Internal medicine is a discipline encompassing the study and practice of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment of men and women from adolescence to old age, during health and all stages of illness. Intrinsic to the discipline are scientific knowledge, the scientific method of problem solving, evidence-based decision making, a commitment to lifelong learning, and an attitude of caring that is derived from humanistic and professional values.
The Internal Medicine Program at Larkin Community Hospital is a three year postgraduate training program. The program is structured to provide the osteopathic resident with advanced and concentrated training in Internal Medicine and prepare him/her for examination leading to board certification. The program provides comprehensive introductions to all the specialties: Pulmonology, Cardiology, Intensive Care, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Infectious Disease, Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Hematology and Oncology, and Neurology throughout the Miami area. We also provide opportunities to work with the fellows in these specialties to experience the options of fellowship.
