                      Situated in the birthplace of osteopathy, Northeast Regional Medical Center is proud to train residents in the Kirksville, Missouri, community. The internal medicine residency program is overseen by attending physicians who practice evidence-based medicine. The program is a rural medicine program that focuses on equipping residents with practical knowledge to manage acute and chronic issues that occur on both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

                      As a member of this program, residents are able to work closely with hospitalists and internal medicine clinical physicians for an integrated approach to management of chronic illness issues on both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Attending physicians take pride in staying current in both literature review and current medical management guidelines, and expect residents to continue the upkeep of their medical knowledge. In conjunction with internal medicine attending physicians, residents are also expected to supervise and teach medical students and fellow interns in collaboration with A.T. Still University.

                      Residents have the opportunity to participate in various hospital inpatient procedures, such a endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, thoracentesis and paracentesis. Residents also receive training in bedside point of care ultrasound, ultrasound guidance for central venous lines and the opportunity to perform osteopathic manipulation on hospitalized and clinic patients when indicated. Many hospital inpatients receive follow up care in the resident outpatient clinic, allowing for improved continuity of care.

                      Internal medicine-specific didactic training focuses on internal medicine board review, journal review club, case review and presentations, and human simulation labs. The program also collaborates with other hospital training facilities to provide a more comprehensive training in specialties such as gastroenterology, pulmonology and infectious disease.

                      Although this is a demanding program, residents are also encouraged to become active members in the community. We feel that supporting the community also supports the hospital and helps give confidence of care to the patients we treat. The program is unique in the fact that we are expected to cover a broader base of medicine and medicine subspecialty disease processes, allowing for a transition of care into both rural or urban settings. We strive to make an impact on medicine and healthcare accessibility in the community.

                      We participate in the ERAS application service and NRMP for both Main Residency Match and SOAP.
