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 feel incredibly fortunate to train at CMC, a program where I am consistently supported by faculty and mentors who are genuinely invested in my success. Whether through networking opportunities, research mentorship, or guidance on balancing career and personal goals, there are always people willing to help me grow both professionally and personally.
What truly makes this program special is the sense of community. My co-residents are not only supportive colleagues, but also close friends who make even the busiest days enjoyable. The ancillary staff also contribute to an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. I genuinely enjoy coming to work each day and feel inspired training alongside residents who I know are becoming outstanding physicians. This program has made residency both a rewarding learning experience and an enjoyable place to grow."

"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."

"I interviewed with CMC early in the residency interview process and was immediately struck by the unique combination of high-acuity, complex patient care within a smaller, close-knit residency program. Throughout interview season, I kept coming back to CMC as the place where I could see myself growing both personally and professionally, and I could not be happier with that decision. What has stood out most during my time here is how intentionally the program invests in its residents. The attendings are approachable, excellent teachers, and truly know the residents they work with. Because of the size of our program, we have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with faculty, mentors, and co-residents. Residency leadership is accessible, supportive, and genuinely receptive to resident feedback. Time and again, I have seen resident suggestions lead to meaningful changes within the program, creating an environment where residents feel heard and valued.  Whether through bedside teaching, research and fellowship mentorship, or the support of residency leadership, CMC has provided an environment where I feel challenged and supported."
