Program overview
We are an ACGME-accredited internal medicine program located in Corpus Christi, Texas. We accept 6 new residents each year.
The primary objective of this three-year Internal Medicine Practice Residency Program is to deliver a meticulously organized and progressive curriculum that prioritizes education over service, while actively incorporating residents' input. The rotating services provided encompass all inpatient and ambulatory care departments. Residents will cultivate the skills and competencies essential for practicing in a primary care setting, serving as a hospitalist, or confidently pursuing subspecialty training.
Our hospital offers high number of opportunities to gain exposure in different procedures. As a more intimate program, Residents benefit from increased one-on-one interaction with faculty, allowing them to collaborate with our esteemed Pulmonary Disease Critical Care and Cardiology Disease fellowships, thereby gaining valuable exposure to additional specialties.
Our meticulously designed schedules prioritize resident well-being, proudly featuring 20 golden weekends each year and the absence of call shifts, ensuring a balanced and fulfilling residency experience.
Corpus Christi genuinely offers something for everyone including outdoor adventures like fishing, kayaking, and exploring nearby nature reserves and parks.
