Medical Education
Lahey is a leading center for educating new physicians. Our doctors are dedicated teachers of medical students and physicians in training, many of whom have been honored by Tufts School of Medicine for excellence in teaching awards.
Additionally, many primary care physicians are on the faculty at Tufts, while others hold teaching appointments at Harvard Medical School. This emphasis on learning and up-to-date knowledge ultimately translates into enhanced patient care.
Medical Students
Lahey is one of the main teaching hospitals for UMass-Chan Medical School. At any time, there are medical students from various years rotating through different departments in the hospital. Additionally, Lahey is one of the teaching hospitals of Tufts University School of Medicine. Lahey offers supervised practical experience for both groups of medical students. As part of their experience, students may be rotating through the Department of Internal Medicine and various subspecialties, such as cardiology, pulmonary, endocrinology and palliative care. Medical students are partnered with staff physicians and more senior physicians in training.
During an appointment, you may be introduced to a medical student who, with your permission, will take your medical history and conduct a brief physical exam. You would, of course, also be seen by the supervising physician working with that medical student.
Internal Medicine Residents
Medical residents are physicians who have graduated from medical school and are now training in a clinical specialty. Our internal medicine residents take care of patients as part of our team in the general internal medicine practice. As members of this team, resident physicians care for patients under the supervision of staff physicians.
Residents also work with primary care attendings and hospitalists in the hospital during their ward rotations.
Lahey’s Internal Medicine Residency program attracts outstanding young physicians who help ensure patients receive the best care possible.
Internal & Family Medicine
General Internal Medicine offers a large comprehensive care team for your primary health care needs in our dedicated patient center in Burlington. For your convenience, we have blood draw, radiology and a pharmacy on site, and offer evening and weekend appointments.
We also work to keep you healthy with screenings and patient educators. Additionally, Lahey provides primary care health care services in Lexington, Peabody and community locations throughout northeastern Massachusetts.
