Residency Programs
The Inova Fairfax Hospital/Georgetown University Transitional Residency Program Provides clinical training in general medicine, pediatrics and emergency medicine to physicians entering sub-specialty training programs including ophthalmology, emergency medicine, radiology, neurology, physical medicine, rehabilitation and others. The transitional program integrates participants into current residency programs and provides a varied educational experience. Residents acquire knowledge and skills related to the medical diagnosis and management of adult and pediatric patients and participate in the care of critically ill patients. Emphasis is placed on understanding the pathologic and physiologic mechanisms of disease and on the principles of diagnosis and treatment. Residents are responsible for both diagnostics and therapeutic management, and are expected to perform and participate in the same manner as those who are at similar experience levels in currently existing teaching services.
Graduate Medical Education
The Department for Medicine at Inova Fairfax Hospital has a long tradition of dedication to Graduate Medical Education throughout the region. Currently, house-staff from Georgetown University Hospital, George Washington University Hospital, Virginia Commonwealth University and the National Capital Consortium rotate on our internal medicine wards and the CCU and ICU. There is an established academic infrastructure consisting of teaching rounds, morning report, noon conference, morbidity and mortality conference, Medical Grand Rounds, Chief of Service rounds and physical diagnosis rounds for our trainees. The program is supported by two Chief Medical Residents and a dedicated group of staff and community physicians who are a balance of General Internists and Medical Specialists.
