Experience internal medicine residency in Arizona’s East Valley.

We recognize that as the next generation of internal medicine physicians, you will have more patient and community considerations than ever. We take that seriously. We know that developing talented leaders, clinicians, and researchers is achievable only through nurturing healthy, happy, well-rounded individuals. As such, we provide training with a multilateral focus on skill, technology and humankindness in every future physician we train. 

Excellence in your preparing for your career

Excellence is the sum of its parts. At Dignity Health East Valley, ensuring excellence means we’ve optimized every component of our program as we build it from the ground up. Our facilities are new and well-equipped, from inpatient settings, to the residency clinic, to the skills lab, all the way to the resident lounge. Our program director has garnered the respect of past residents along with soaring board-pass rates. Our over 95-member-strong faculty want to teach. They are not mandated to teach by a department schedule. Teaching is not just a job - our faculty members love to be part of a dynamic learning environment. Our technologies are fully updated. Comprehensively, our program reflects the best of our community and our team.

Excitement that you'll be joining us

We are happy you’re exploring our opportunities, and we’re happy you’re here. When you join our inaugural internal medicine residency experience, you will help shape the future of our program. We may be a new program, but it's based on successes and experiences that our program leaders have developed elsewhere. We want residents who are willing to talk about the way they want to be trained. Come in with an open mind and desire to learn. Come in with your enthusiasm!

Balance in work and life

Residencies are challenging. Your life will be busy. Our program will strive to ensure access to activities that provide a release from the stressors of your work-and-learn schedule. Training on prioritization and time management will help you maximize work-life balance. You will find balance in a number of ways:

• Community. Our residency program is situated in a metropolitan area which ideally melds the culture of the fifth-largest U.S. city with unmatched climate, natural beauty, and outdoor activities.
• Retreats. We offer retreats that will take you out of rotation mode to give your mind and body the care and prioritization they  need. You need.
• Comfort. Our beautiful, new, fully-equipped resident lounge can simultaneously inspire productivity and relaxation. Fashioned to feel more like "home" than office, it provides a large-screen television, kitchen and meeting space. A wonderful setting to connect with peers or connect with envisioning your future.

   

Inclusion and diversity programs

Providing equitable, compassionate, and outcomes-oriented community health care is top priority for our internal medicine residency program. We teach you to provide care based on humankindness and as a resident, you can expect that same humankindness to be extended to you by faculty and peers. We’re looking for unique individuals who see themselves as a part of a team. We are not taking a “standard” approach. We want diversity and inclusion and for you to bring your ideas and personal journeys to our shared experiences.

Humankindness in all that we do

Humankindness is the guiding principle at Dignity Health, so naturally our new residency programs in Phoenix’s East Valley will embody this brand. Humankindess informs how we view our community, how we treat our patients, and how we collaborate with one another.

At Dignity Health, humankindness is more than a tagline. It’s the way we practice health care. Hello humankindness invites us all to recognize and relish the moving, joyful, and healing power of  humanity. At its heart is the guiding belief that humanity holds the power to heal. Dozens of medical studies have confirmed that even simple acts of humanity can have a powerful, measurable effect on healing. Knowing this, we believe that our purpose is to unleash the healing power of humanity. We want to foster the ability in all of us to heal, nourish, protect, and support the body, mind, and spirit. 

So as we nurture humankindness in the way you care for patients, you can be assured we will treat each other on the Dignity Health team – our residents included – with the same level of care and respect.
