From the Program Directors

To our Student "Browsers,"

We think you will find our residency program a wonderful learning experience in a sophisticated community of New England charm.  We still look fondly upon our own training here!

Our internal medicine residency is designed to provide excellent preparation for either a career in primary care or further subspecialty training.  Our special strengths are exposure to an exceptional array of pathology, a thoroughly committed, friendly, and accessible faculty and private attending staff, a fine radiology department, and residency program with highly specialized diagnostic services, a close relationship with our medical school and its teaching hospital, a nearly "scut-free" work environment, a very liberal elective system, highly developed ambulatory assignments, and an excellent track record of placing our graduates in select practice settings or outstanding fellowship programs.  This all takes place in a brand new, magnificent, state-of-the-art facility.

A list of electives available to medical students at our hospital is available on this website.  If you want additional information, or wish to arrange an elective with us, please contact Marcia Hansen at 508-363-6177 or email her directly at marcia.hansen@stvincenthospital.com.

We would love to show you our program.  If you have any questions, please contact our Program Administrator, Julia White at 508-363-6208 or email her directly at julia.white@stvincenthospital.com.  Our toll free number is: (877) 633-2368 ext. 26208.

Dear Applicant:

Having trained and taught extensively at academic institutions in Boston, I know you will find that our residency program offers a wonderful learning experience in a vibrant, collegial and sophisticated medical community.

Crafted by a 50-year tradition of excellence, our internal medicine residency is designed to provide grounding preparation for a distinguished career as a general internist or a medical subspecialist.  Our enviable strengths are highlighted in the material present throughout the pages of this web site, and I will not attempt to summarize those many prominent features.  However, I will note that any vital and successful enterprise requires values, vision, and commitment, and the internal medicine residency at Saint Vincent Hospital is blessed to have three remarkable individuals at the helm of its academic program, Dr. Joel H. Popkin, Program Director, Dr. Jane A. Lochrie, Associate Program Director and Dr. George Abraham, Associate Program Director.

Enjoy your tour of our site, and please contact us if you have questions concerning the training program. 

I look forward to reviewing your application and to meeting you!

From the Director of Osteopathic Medical Education

The Osteopathic internship program at Saint Vincent Hospital has a reputation for creating knowledgeable, caring, and holistic Osteopathic physicians who are eminently capable of entering the practice of primary
care internal medicine, or any specialty that they are hoping to pursue. We accomplish this by providing multiple educational opportunities, which include daily morning report, noon conference, board review, and weekly grand rounds. Being situated in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts we provide care for multinational patients in the inpatient and emergency room settings.

Additionally, we ensure that the intern will spend a minimum of 1/2 day per week for most of the academic year caring for patients in the resident run outpatient clinic. We also have an outpatient Osteopathic manipulation clinic one day a week and are dedicated to the instruction of manipulative medicine to all Osteopathic residents in the AOA tract. We work closely with the University of New England School of Osteopathic Medicine, and have lectures on the Osteopathic aspects of diagnosis and treatment of illness on a regular basis. The Traditional Osteopathic Rotating Internship (Program #65811) consists of two options for the Osteopathic applicant to choose from. Option A is the classic rotating internship, which exposes the intern to the areas of surgery, obstetrics and pediatrics as well as internal medicine, family practice and emergency medicine. Option B, which places more emphasis on internal medicine, family medicine, and emergency medicine, is intended to meet the needs of the aspiring internist or family physician.

I wish you all the best in your pursuit of a fulfilling Osteopathic career. Please contact us if you have questions concerning the Osteopathic training program.

Sincerely,

David E. Weinstock, DO
Director, Osteopathic Medical Education
