Welcome from Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the Internal Medicine Residency programs at the University of Rochester. We offer three year positions in Categorical Internal Medicine, two year categorical positions in the ABIM Research Pathway, and Preliminary Internal Medicine positions. With the Department of Pediatrics, we also share responsibility for the Combined Medicine-Pediatrics Program.
Information regarding applying to any of these programs can be found on our Applicant Information Page.
Categorical Internal Medicine Program
Twenty new residents enter our categorical program each year. Our rich learning environment attracts outstanding residents from across the country. Currently,our categorical program includes graduates of 25 U.S. medical schools in 16 states.More information about current residents can be found on our Current Residents Page.
After three years, our residents enter highly competitive subspecialty fellowships or outstanding practice opportunities. Since 2001, 74% of our graduates have entered fellowships; 26% have chosen general internal medicine. Many graduating residents choose University of Rochester fellowships. Others accept outstanding fellowships elsewhere. Details of our fellowship placements to begin 2011 and 2012 can be found on our Fellowship Placement Page.
ABIM Research Pathway
We offer two research pathway positions each year. Individuals accepted into these positions spend two years in the Categorical Medicine program and then move directly into a University of Rochester research focused subspecialty fellowship in their chosen field. Questions regarding the research pathway should be addressed to the director of that program, Laura Calvi, MD.
Preliminary Internal Medicine
Our preliminary internal medicine year is identical to the categorical medicine first year except that preliminary residents do not have a weekly general medicine continuity practice and do have more flexibility in their elective choices.

Our key faculty members are Associate Program Directors Bilal Ahmed, MD, Catherine Gracey, MD, and Alec O'Connor, MD, MPH; and Assistant Program Directors Laura Calvi, MD (Research Pathway), John Grable, MD, PhD (Resident Research), Alissa Huston, MD (Hematology-Oncology Programs) , Peter Mariuz, M.D., and William Novak, M.D. The Program Administrator is Alice Gordon, assisted by Program Coordinators Mary Lou Beagan and Kelly Walsh.
