Internal Medicine Residency

Internal Medicine Residency

Our Mission

The mission of the Bayhealth Medical Center Internal Medicine residency program is to recruit, prepare, and retain outstanding physicians who will provide meaningful, exceptional, and valuable healthcare for the growing community of Kent and Sussex County Delaware. The mission of the Bayhealth Medical Center is to “strengthen the health of our community, one life at a time”. The Internal Medicine residency program is aligned with that mission and will continue putting those words into practice. By recruiting exceptional medical graduates and exposing them to the beauty and diversity of our community, the residency program aims to provide the next generation of physicians for our growing population. Treating each life… one at a time.

Curriculum

The backbone of our curriculum is an X+Y schedule. X+Y scheduling has been the most important innovation in internal medicine education during the last decade, and our schedule proudly balances inpatient and outpatient experiences, work and life, while maintaining continuity and building relationships.

Highlights:

• Option of Categorical or Primary Care Track
• Inpatient rotations will be 2 weeks in duration
• No 24 hour call throughout the 3 years of training
• Dedicated orientation in the first block of PGY-1 year
• Option to complete rotations in all medical subspecialties prior to end of PGY-2 year allowing you to make an informed choice about fellowship

Bayhealth Internal Medicine, Milford

The new Bayhealth Internal Medicine residency practice, which opened July 2021, is located at 804 N. DuPont Blvd. in Milford, Delaware. Built in 2018, our office was renovated in 2021 to meet the needs of a residency program practice. With 12 exam rooms (including a procedure room), behavioral health office, and plenty of natural light, it’s a fantastic facility for both patients and residents. The gratitude we have felt from patients makes our practice a place you will find joy each day.

Milford is located in a physician shortage area and our practice provides care for an underserved population. Southern Delaware is one of the fastest growing areas in the entire country. Both retirees and young families have moved in large numbers to Kent and Sussex counties in the last decade. When fully staffed in 2024, the practice will add more than 20,000 patient visits to this community per year. The impact we are already making on this community is tremendous and will continue to grow each year.
