Internal Medicine at Main Line Health
Our program offers a comprehensive Internal Medicine training experience combining outstanding academic teaching in didactic, small group and bedside settings with direct patient care. The program offers a wide variety of subspecialty electives and outpatient rotations in private practices.

We also offer fellowships in Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Hematology/Oncology, General Cardiovascular Diseases, Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology.  In addition, there are shared fellowship programs with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Pulmonary/Critical Care and Infectious Diseases. Our first year class is half categorical interns and half preliminary interns with a total cohort of 52 residents per year.

Academics Balanced with Clinical Experience
Our program provides a balance of rigorous academic teaching and extensive clinical practice. Lankenau, a 331 bed hospital located 20 minutes outside Philadelphia, combines the experiences of a tertiary care medical center and a community hospital.  Our affiliation with the Lankenau Institute of Medical Research (LIMR) also provides an opportunity for both basic science and clinical research on our own clinical campus.  Residents in our categorical program are expected to complete an original research project during the course of their training and are encouraged to join ongoing projects in the hospital and the research center.

The Department of Medicine includes a Cardiac Catheterization Unit, Cardiac Electrophysiology Lab, a Pulmonary Function Laboratory, Endoscopy Suites, Cardiopulmonary Laboratory, Cancer Center, Renal Dialysis Units, Sleep Medicine Services, and special studies and research laboratories in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases, Hematology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Neurology, Infectious Diseases, and Rheumatology.
