BroMenn Healthcare Internship

This one-year program will educate the intern to the variety of patients with general medical problems in both hospital settings as well as the outpatient office setting. The intern will also learn how to integrate the support services of the hospital to best care for patients with multiple complex medical problems. In addition to the core specialties of family medicine, emergency medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics and internal medicine, the interns will have an opportunity to rotate through the following subspecialties:

Objectives of this program include:

1. Appropriate development of a differential diagnosis in a hospitalized patient and narrowing that differential while considering both appropriateness and cost of testing.
2. Development of organized treatment plans for patients with multiple and/or complex illnesses.
3. Interpretation of laboratory tests, EKGs, pulmonary function tests, etc. in all outpatient and hospital patients.
4. Mastering skills required in a hospital practice, including IVs, venipuncture, ABGs, arterial lines and central venous catheters.

Involvement

During the program, the faculty will provide hands-on experience and supervision for structure and palpatory diagnosis. On-site supervision of osteopathic manipulation will be provided.

The outpatient experiences occur in the continuity clinic where the interns will participate one-half day each week throughout the year. Additional ambulatory experiences occur during individual specialty rotations.

Interns have the opportunity to participate in various hospital committees.

This is a traditional rotating internship. If interested, Interns may advance to a position in the BroMenn family practice residency program.
