St. Agnes Medical Residency Program
The Internal Medicine Residency Training Program
at St. Agnes Hospital offers a hands-on clinical
experience with an extremely diverse case mix of patients. At St.
Agnes, academic medicine is practiced in a community hospital setting.
The full time and voluntary faculty have a strong commitment
to resident teaching. This often occurs in an informal setting most
conducive to learning. The dynamic interaction between the faculty
and house staff creates a stimulating intellectual environment centered
around the key principles of patient care, education and clinical research.
The house staff have the autonomy in patient care essential
to development of their clinical skills, yet have the close faculty
supervision and support that they need.
St. Agnes is an affiliate of the University of Maryland
Medical School and Johns Hopkins Medical School.
This affords our house staff the opportunity to rotate through these
hospitals, further enriching their patient care experience.
In addition to patient care, house staff are actively
involved in the teaching of medical students who rotate on the medical
service throughout the year.
Research activity is emphasized, and the house staff
are stongly encouraged to become involved in clinical research. St.
Agnes has an established the Clinical Research Center with a physician
director, a full time administrator and several full time study coordinators.
Many of the residents participate in projects, working closely with
the various attendings in the department. These projects include
clinical vignettes, scientific papers and poster presentations. They
may be submitted either for publication in a journal or to the annual Maryland
ACP Associates Scientific Meeting at which the program is always
well represented.
