GME Internal Medicine Curriculum

The Residency Experience

With over 800 licensed acute inpatient beds, Mercy Hospital is one of the largest community hospitals in the region, and second largest hospital in the St. Louis Metro area. As a designated level one trauma, stroke, and STEMI center Mercy is consistently recognized at a national level for its excellence in patient care and outcomes. This is exemplified by its CMS 5-Star hospital rating for several years running. Training at Mercy will ensure a comprehensive and fulfilling educational experience.  Moreover, as a tertiary referral center, you will be exposed to complex pathology daily.

Our residency program’s yearly schedule is divided into thirteen 4-week blocks. All three years, these blocks alternate between Inpatient blocks (Medical-ICU, Cardiovascular-ICU, Wards, Cardiology) and elective blocks (Infectious Disease, Pulmonology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Procedural, POCUS, and several more). Each elective block also contains 1 week of the resident’s continuity clinic in our JFK Clinic, which provides care to an underserved population. Every effort is made to construct a custom curriculum for each resident based on his or her personal and professional goals.
