Congratulations to Internal Medicine Residents
100% of the St. Joseph's Internal Medicine Residency Program graduates passed their ABIM Certification Examination. The ABIM is one of the toughest of the ABMS Board Certification Exams with an overall pass rate of 78-80% Just behind the excellent quality of care rendered to our medicine patients, this is the gold standard for a residency training program.
St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center has been providing high quality patient care for more than a century and has been training the next generation of medical professionals for over 70 years.
The primary goal of the St. Joseph’s Residency Program in Internal Medicine is to equip residents with the skills needed to provide excellent and compassionate care to patients in our rapidly-changing health care system. To achieve this goal, we employ a competency-based approach which teaches and evaluates residents in the six core competencies described by the ACGME: patient care, medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, practice-based learning, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
The mission of the Internal Medicine Training Program is to create and sustain, within a distinguished community-based academic medical center, a stimulating learning environment in which physicians at all stages of their careers can maximize their professional growth in the challenging discipline of internal medicine. Now a university hospital for Creighton University in Nebraska, St Joseph’s offers real work experience for its residents.

The faculty and residents work collegially to ensure that each and every resident is able to realize his/her full potential as well as his/her professional and personal goals. This is achieved via a rigorous program of clinical rotations, scholarly activity, didactic conferences, web-based learning modules, and a flexible, wide-ranged set of electives. In addition to acquiring a solid foundation in inpatient and ambulatory general medicine, residents in our program also have rotations in cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, nephrology, hematology/oncology, rheumatology, endocrinology, neurology and geriatrics. They may also choose from electives in non-Internal Medicine specialties such a ophthalmology, radiology and anesthesiology.
