Welcome to the Good Samaritan Medical Center (GSMC) track of the St Elizabeth’s Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program.
We are pleased to announce that the St Elizabeth’s Medical Center’s Internal Medicine Residency Program is expanding its training opportunities by offering a new track. This new track is sponsored by St Elizabeth’s Medical Center. Residents enrolled in the GSMC track primarily rotate at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, Massachusetts where they will complete core inpatient rotations on the general medicine units and in the medical intensive care unit, as well as select medical subspecialty consult rotations. Additional inpatient rotations take place at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton, Massachusetts and at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Under this track, ambulatory rotations take place in primary care and medical subspecialty clinics located in Dorchester, Quincy, and Brockton.
Residents will experience broad and dynamic educational opportunities by rotating at these different clinical sites. Furthermore, in addition to the educational activities offered at GSMC, residents will actively participate in the robust and comprehensive educational curriculum directed from the St Elizabeth’s Medical Center campus, either in person or virtually.
