Welcome to the Flowers Hospital Internal Medicine residency program! We are excited you have chosen to consider us as your educational destination for the next phase of your career.
As a burgeoning program, our foundation is centered on the core principles of scientific knowledge and empathy, seeking to construct a training paradigm that will instill the values of humanism and intellectual curiosity into our trainees. Situated in an environment where chronic medical conditions are prevalent across our patient population, our model aims to promote the highest ideals of ongoing individualized care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It’s an environment where residents will become adept in the skills of diagnosis, management and interpersonal communications, and an appreciation for equity and justice and the highest ideals of professionalism.
Our program offers innovative ways to shape internal medicine residency by moving beyond traditional training methods while still honoring the essential principles of the field. Our experienced faculty and strong institutional partnerships provide residents with plenty of opportunities for research, academic growth, and career development tailored to their personal goals.
We invite you to join us as we take the next steps on a journey of refinement and wisdom gathering, endeavoring to build an outstanding training program and a beacon of hope and comfort to those we are privileged to serve. A great mentor in my personal journey once shared that the most ethical action a physician can offer an individual patient is to provide an accurate diagnosis, which formulates the underlying foundation upon which our training program will be built. Come join this unique effort, as we seek to promote the effective delivery of healthcare on a regional and national level, striving relentlessly to practice the ideals captured in our institutional mantra:
“SCIENTIFICA ET EMPATHICA“
(“Knowledge and empathy”)
