The Dignity Health website is moving to CommonSpirit.org to deliver a more patient-centered digital experience across CA, AZ, and NV.
Our innovative internal medicine residency program will prepare you to practice in acute care hospitals, specialty medicine or primary care depending on your career aspirations. No matter which you choose as a career path, we will ensure that your training will allow you to become a highly skilled and knowledgeable internal medicine physician.
CUEVA internal medicine residents can use our unique selective rotations to build experience and knowledge along the career path you desire. These selectives are designed to allow residents to have a feel of the career you are entering without having to select a fixed track. You won’t find this approach in many otherresidency programs. Plus, with 26 available electives, you can customize your education to fit your goals.
Humankindness is not just a word you hear, it's something we believe in. Humankindness and wellness are two key areas of focus throughout your three-year residency and are interwoven throughout the curriculum. A special PGY-1 fall retreat focuses on patient communication skills, wellness, and resiliency concepts. We work with you to develop your leadership and teaching skills during a dedicated PGY-1 end-of-year retreat. A PGY-2 Career Guidance / Fellowship Preparation Retreat is designed to prepare our residents for your future beyond residency.
We launched our inaugural class in 2023 and earned our 10-year accreditation status in 2024! We are looking for residents who want to join us on our program building journey, contribute to its growth, and leave a legacy. This is a distinction that you can carry with you for the rest of your life. We encourage the desire to create, build and guide! We have monthly feedback sessions with the program director and associate program director where you can share new ideas and implement change.
Our enterprising residency program puts your research in the “shark tank” and opens doors to potential state and national presentation opportunities. Internal medicine residents will also share research findings at several events throughout the year.
Our program offers you a strong, broad-based structure for growing as physicians and human beings.
