1400500929 — San Ysidro Health Program

PROGRAM AIMS:
San Ysidro Health’s Internal Medicine residency program has two main goals. First is providing graduate education in the specialty of Internal Medicine to complement our current Scripps Family Medicine partners. Second will be training future Internists to serve the ongoing medical needs and challenges faced in providing accessible and quality health care to all populations. San Ysidro Health will achieve these goals through a unique program that incorporates evidence based practice within the primary care setting. Based on a Patient Centered Medical Home Model (PCMH) of quality medical care our Internal Medicine Residency program will incorporate outpatient continuity clinic rotations within the traditional Hospitalist training program. Residents will have ample opportunities to participate in ongoing public health research available in the clinic setting as well as to take on or participate in community, hospital, or clinic quality improvement projects of their own.

MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR:
We would like to welcome you to our San Ysidro Internal Medicine Program. We are initiating a unique program that will provide an excellent education to physicians while providing care for the most vulnerable patients in our community. We hope to develop caring physicians that will serve these types of communities in the future and hope that you can join us in this endeavor. Our program offers broad-based medical education training in a community setting with diverse patient populations while having the opportunity to be exposed to the teaching format of Scripps Mercy Chula Vista and San Diego Hospitals. We hope to attract a unique group of student physicians who are committed to this cause. We also look to prepare a future generation of physicians who are not only altruistic but who will also become leaders in the physician community and deal with the changes in healthcare in the 21st century, advocating for these vulnerable populations.
