Internal Medicine Residency at Samaritan


— — Asim Kichloo, MD, Internal Medicine Program Director
Welcome!
Welcome to Samaritan’s Internal Medicine Residency program webpage. We pride ourselves in providing an inclusive, supportive, and friendly learning environment that provides ample experiences to explore the wealth of opportunities that internal medicine training affords. Dedicated teaching faculty, as well as supportive medical, nursing and administrative leadership will guide you on your journey to becoming an exceptional internist.
On a personal note: Academia is the cornerstone of my career. After finishing my training in NY to become a board-certified physician in the U.S., my focus has been on the transformation of academic medicine and creating pathways for physicians to be excellent teachers and mentors for the new generation. I want to integrate clinical with academic medicine and, despite the burdens of clinical productivity, create ecosystems that foster research on a national and international level. I believe changing the world begins with someone, and that someone can be you.
As our resident, you will receive outstanding internal medicine training that prepares you for a career in primary care or hospital medicine, or for entering subspecialty fellowships. Our goal is to ensure that residents achieve clinical competence in a supportive family environment. We do this by creating the perfect balance of autonomy and supervision as well as education and workload. Our structured didactics are engaging, occur weekly, and accompany grand rounds on multiple subspecialties, which are given by dedicated subspecialists. We also help teach our residents to be great teachers by mentoring the medical students one-on-one. We strive for a culture of inquiry, developing in our residents the skills necessary for lifelong, self-directed learning.
As Program Director, I will be attentive to you, your development and well-being, and offer you a personalized approach for success and excellence. I look forward to sharing more about our program with you. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.nd commitments we are very serious about honoring. If this sounds like the kind of physician you want to be, I would encourage you to apply and join our “family.”
