Medical Center is a full-service, acute-care hospital with 317 inpatient beds. The residency program includes physicians in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Dermatology and a Transitional Year Program which focuses on subspecialties. The programs vary from 1-4 years in length. During their time, the residents see patients both in the hospital and in a clinic setting, at one of the Medical Center's partner facilities.
