Internal Medicine Training

Graduate medical education helps improve patient care while it prepares tomorrow's physicians. Intermountain Medical Center will be a teaching hospital that provides advanced clinical training for medical students and internal medicine interns and residents.

How patients benefit from teaching hospitals

Physicians-in-training and the physicians who instruct them continually upgrade their skills and understanding and become more proficient in their practices. As new skills are learned and as evidence-based management decisions are implemented, patient treatment and medical outcomes improve.

Experienced, well-trained internal medicine faculty physicians supervise and teach the interns, residents, and medical students the high-quality patient management skills and the efficiency they need before entering private medical practice or before going on to subspecialty fellowship training.

New outpatient center houses training facilities

The internal medicine interns and residents will manage their outpatients in 16 rooms in the Eccles Outpatient Center. This will allow the faculty to teach the interns and residents how manage patients in more than one room at a time, while the nursing staff and the pharmacy staff are in other rooms, providing education and arranging treatments and follow-ups that the patients need.

Six board-certified faculty members teach the interns, residents and medical students in the Eccles Outpatient Center internal medicine clinic: Tony Musci, MD, Michael Lahey, MD, Scott Stevens, MD, Scott Woller, MD, Beth Underwood, MD, and Doug Smith, MD.
