North mississippi medical center program internal medicine residency

Welcome to the Internal Medicine residency program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

We feel our residency program is among the strongest in the Southeast, which stems from several factors, including a diverse patient population, a heavy emphasis on effective teaching, a focus on the appropriate balance between supervision and autonomy, and consistent attention to appropriate feedback and evaluations.

Our mission is to develop physician leaders through highest quality patient-centered care; acquisition, discovery, and application of medical knowledge; and respect for all members of the health care team. Read more about our core values.

Educate. Inspire. Serve.

Those residents accepted into the program are guaranteed a position for the full three years barring the development of grounds for dismissal or non-renewal of contract. In July 2021, our program will initially offer 12 positions. The program plans to ultimately expand to 24 residents per class by 2025.
