The University of Utah also offers opportunities for a Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program and additional training through our Internal Medicine Fellowships Program.

Our training programs provide exposure to each internal medicine subspecialty, so residents become aware of the role and contribution of each to effective patient care.  Focused exposures are given to the areas of neurology, dermatology, and various other non-internal medicine subspecialties.  International opportunities also exist.
