Alameda County Medical Center's residency program in Internal Medicine at Highland Hospital offers an excellent opportunity for integrated three-year clinical training. The range of clinical conditions encountered at Highland Hospital is broad and far more diverse than that of most hospitals: the underprivileged and impoverished present the medical problems so often found in these groups. The ethnic and social diversity of the East Bay brings to the hospital many patients with uncommon medical and psychosocial problems, urgently in need of care and assistance. Highland Hospital serves these people and in so doing, provides its staff of resident physicians with an unusual opportunity for graduate medical training.
The clinical instruction in the Department of Internal Medicine is provided by a faculty of general internists and subspecialists who hold full-time positions at the hospital. All faculty physicians are board-certified and hold clinical appointments at the University of California San Francisco. Daily work rounds and patient teaching rounds are made with the housestaff.
