Internal Medicine Chattanooga Applicant Information
Virtual Interviews
This year our Internal Medicine Residency has made the decision to follow the recommendations and guidance from the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine:
"In the interest of preserving the health and safety of applicants and programs as well as promoting an efficacious and fair process, AAIM recommended that residency programs should conduct all interviews virtually for the 2024 recruitment season." We anticipate that recommendation will be maintained by the AAIM in 2025.
We are honored that you are considering our Internal Medicine Residency for your Graduate Medical Education training. Our primary clinical training site and major affiliated hospital (Erlanger Health) is a respected facility throughout our region, and Chattanooga is an exciting place to live and train.
