The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) Department of Medicine is committed to the provision of outstanding clinical training and education. Therefore, the UPR Internal Medicine Residency Program main objective is to train exceptional internists. To attain this, we have three main goals that are our north in this process. First, I want my residents to be better people than they were before entering the program; second, better clinicians; and third, be Board Certified. All this is framed in our interest that both faculty members and residents enjoy physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Our Internal Medicine residents and faculty deal with the most complex patient population in Puerto Rico. We offer a diverse range of clinical rotations and ambulatory experiences. Our program leadership and outstanding faculty members are here to help you develop your clinical and leadership skills in a thoughtful and supportive learning environment. As part of the training, residents participate in research and quality improvement projects which promote academic excellence. I am very proud of our residents and distinguished faculty members because of their compromise to serve as an instrument of hope to those in need.
