Residences

Emergency Medicine Residency

In July 2001, St. John West Shore Hospital began an Emergency Medicine Residency as their part of the Northeast Ohio Emergency Medicine Consortium. The consortium includes Cuyahoga Falls Hospital, Doctors Hospital in Massillon, South Pointe Hospital, and St. Joseph Hospital.

The consortium gives residents the opportunity to share resources with the other hospitals, including completing trauma rotations at Level I Trauma Centers and Pediatric Emergency Medicine.

SJWS Emergency Medicine Residents will participate in didactics through the consortium. Regular lectures are schedules two times each week and are supplemented by Dog Labs, Procedure Labs, and a lecture series that is provided for all Osteopathic Residents throughout the State of Ohio. Residents also attend Board Review Courses throughout their training.

Family Practice Residency

The Family Practice Residency Program began July 1999 and is a procedure oriented, outpatient-based program. This program's goal is to provide the residents with proper training to become highly competent family physicians.

Family Practice Residents spend three to four half days each week in a Continuity of Care Clinic, which is located within six miles of St. John West Shore Hospital.

Residents also attend weekly block lectures at the hospital, participate in their own Journal Club, and attend monthly didactics with other Family Practice Residents throughout the State of Ohio.

Internal Medicine Residency

The Internal Medicine Residency began July 2001 and includes three-year an Internal Medicine Track Internship program.

This residency provides the resident with training in General Internal Medicine, as well as its sub-specialties. A curriculum has been developed to ensure the resident will have adequate exposure and training to become a qualified, competent physician.

The Continuity Care requirement will be met through Board Certified General Internal Medicine Physicians Offices, allowing the Resident to work directly with a mentor throughout their training.

Because SJWS is partner of Cleveland's University Hospitals Health System, Internal Medicine Residents can also view weekly grand rounds through the hospital videoconferencing system.
