Osteopathic Traditional Rotating Internship

“Many applicants are attracted to our program because of the breadth of clinical experiences, the committed, dedicated faculty and the national reputation St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network enjoys in the areas of cardiology and intensive care medicine. They are equally impressed by the competitive fellowships that our graduates enter. Frequently, our graduates return after fellowship training and join the teaching staff. To me, this is the greatest endorsement of the training program and quality of patient care provided at St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network.”

Application Process

Academic and Clinical Training for Hospitalized and Ambulatory Patients

The goal of the Osteopathic Traditional Rotating Internship at St. Luke’s Hospital is to offer an educational program to graduates of osteopathic medical schools that provides academic and clinical training in the basic principles of patient care for hospitalized and ambulatory patients. Upon completion of the program, the osteopathic intern will have a fundamental knowledge of osteopathic principles, preventative medicine and health maintenance and appreciation of common disease entities and their treatment.

This program is accredited by the Council on Post-Doctoral Education of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The training also is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and fulfills all the requirements for an ACGME Transitional Year Residency. The majority of our trainees who chose this year are seeking a preparatory year before entering residency training. Others are looking for a broad-based clinical year to help them to decide which field of medicine they would like to pursue.

We welcome you to apply to our program. We believe you will find our program provides a first rate educational experience in a supportive training environment.
