Message from the Program Director
Bridgeport Hospital has been training internists for more than 50 years. This is an institution with strong ties to Yale University School of Medicine and a demonstrated commitment to training humane and skilled physicians in more than 10 specialties and subspecialties. In the Department of Medicine, we have a large and very talented faculty whose primary raison d'être here is to make you the best physician you can be. Over the past two years, 100% of our graduates who sat for their Boards passed on the first attempt. Recent graduates have been accepted to fellowships at Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, University of Pennsylvania, Hutchinson Cancer Institute and the National Cancer Institute.
Resident trainees in Internal Medicine can expect to join a highly talented group of peers, many with advanced degrees and published scholarship. Three years of training at Bridgeport Hospital will, through a broad array of didactic and patient-care experiences, prepare you well for a career in Internal Medicine or for subspecialty fellowships. Most residents continue scholarly activities to complement their clinical training. The credo here is to make the most of your potential - the faculty is committed to help you meet this goal. I invite you to visit our program and judge for yourself whether this is the right match for you.
