Residents are physicians doing graduate medical training under the supervision of an attending physician. The residents in our clinic are undergoing hands-on training to become full-fledged internists. Internists are internal medicine specialists who also serve as care coordinators for patients seeing multiple providers for health concerns. Internists are sometimes called “the doctor’s doctor” because they are often asked to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve diagnostic problems.
Our residents, because they have recently graduated from medical school, are up-to-date on the latest medical technology and are furthering their knowledge with ongoing research. Each day, they get excellent training at VVMC by treating a wide range of patients.
