Internal Medicine

Inpatient training is done exclusively at Carolinas Medical Center's 874-bed main facility. Our hospital features state-of-the-art Medical Intensive Care and Cardiac Critical Care Units and is a Level I trauma center, with more than 120,000 ED visits last year.

Located less than two blocks from the hospital, Atrium Health Myers Park Internal Medicine serves as the main ambulatory training site for our residents. Our categorical residents each have a continuity clinic practice at Myers Park, and our preliminary residents participate in general internal medicine clinic by seeing patients for hospital follow-up and urgent care visits. Our residents also spend time in several sub-specialty clinics at Myers Park. 

New 4-Year Medical School

Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center has developed a strategic partnership with Wake Forest School of Medicine to bring a 4-year medical school campus to Charlotte. Currently, CMC serves as the largest clinical branch campus for Wake Forest medical students.

“I remember attending the CMC IM virtual open house like it was yesterday. The residents had such infectious energy and banter that I remember thinking ‘wow these people really like each other.’ It was the exact environment that I knew I wanted during my residency experience and I can say that after my three years here, it has been one of the best decisions of my life.
CMC has provided me with numerous mentorship and research opportunities while providing a diverse array of clinical experiences. The collegiality that we have at this institution is unmatched. I am very proud to be a graduate of the CMC Internal Medicine Residency. ;

"CMC was my second interview and I immediately called my mom and said “I think I’ve found the place for me.” They offered such a warm welcome to me during meet and greets, the interview, and the second look. I was also very impressed with how small and connected the residency felt in a huge tertiary referral hospital. Since being at CMC, I have grown immensely thanks to the supportive faculty and collegiality amongst my co-residents. I have had the opportunity to develop incredible mentorship relationships, present posters at conferences, and work on some exciting research projects all while bettering my education, teaching medical students, and taking great care of patients. CMC has truly exceeded my expectations in a training program.

“Having the ability to train at a program as incredible as the IM program at CMC has been a truly rewarding and unique experience. The attendings are all exceptional educators who genuinely care about each patient’s well-being and they strike the perfect balance of providing support while also giving residents autonomy to grow throughout their training. There are ample opportunities for research, mentorship, medical education endeavors, advocacy, wellness every single year. I am beyond grateful to be training at a program that provides an intimate learning environment while simultaneously allowing residents to see a wide array of complex pathophysiology. I cannot say enough great things about this program.”
