Special Features
ChristianaCare provides our residents with the most comprehensive training in the fields of emergency medicine and internal medicine. This includes fostering both inpatient and outpatient clinical expertise on the internal medicine side, as well as unparalleled clinical training in emergency medicine. Our training sites offer a diverse patient population with high acuity, while our lack of subspecialty training programs provides an even more hands-on, real-world experience for our residents. Our program is a competency-based curriculum that individualizes training opportunities and allows physician leaders to thrive. Our residents develop a wide understanding of the health care system and how it works for all aspects of patient care.
