Options: lots of rotation concentration options to support your career path

Our program allows you to tailor your residency experience to your desired career path. With more than 26 selective and elective rotations, you can package your training and know that more than 95 expert faculty members are ready to mentor, partner,  challenge, guide, and, above all, listen.  

Work-life balance

Work-Life Balance is not just a noon conference at Dignity Health East Valley. It is incorporated in everything we do. We have wellness days built into our ambulatory rotations; no overnight call; retreats focusing on wellness and resiliency, and American College of Physicians (ACP) wellness champions as faculty members.

Focus on realizing your potential - the future is now 

Our program is designed to minimize obstacles to growth and will challenge our residents to routinely contribute the input, ideas, and talents that will help nurture and grow our program. We will listen, and respond proactively and promptly.

Dignity Health East Valley Internal Medicine Residency Pledge on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion/Belonging

Our residency program strives for a culture in which the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion/belonging are infused into all of our clinical, teaching and research activities.

We hope to foster a culturally rich, diverse and welcoming learning environment in which trainees learn to provide individualized care to patients with diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds across the gender spectrum.

We are working hard to attract learners and faculty who want to contribute to this goal, and who are reflective of the community and the world that we serve.

Our mission, our focus

The Dignity Health East Valley Internal Medicine Residency Program trains residents to become competent in the independent practice of general internal medicine and to serve as consultants to other physicians and health care providers in both the ambulatory and hospital settings. The residents will be an integral part of Dignity Health Chandler Regional Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center's mission to make the healing presence of God known in our world by improving the health of the people we serve, especially those who are vulnerable while we advance social justice for all.

Hot opportunities in the Valley of the Sun

The East Valley offers great communities to live in and neighbors to get to know.
