MedStar Health-Georgetown University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

MedStar Georgetown's Med-Peds program is a university-affiliated, academically-oriented combined program rooted in Jesuit "cura personalis" values, integrating four years of inpatient and outpatient training across both parent departments (13 three-month rotation blocks alternating Medicine and Pediatrics, with a dedicated Med-Peds continuity clinic staffed exclusively by Med-Peds faculty). The program explicitly supports a diversity of career pathways - primary care, hospitalist medicine, subspecialty fellowship, global health, health policy, and academic medicine - through named tracks including the Michael Adams Clinician Educator (MACE) Track, Global Health Track, Social Medicine and Health Equity Track, and a Health Policy Elective, alongside access to NIH, Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center, and MedStar's advanced subspecialty institutes. Graduate outcomes show a genuine split between fellowship (ID, nephrology, cardiology, allergy/immunology, GI, heme-onc, pulm/crit care) and Med-Peds primary care/hospitalist practice, reflecting a program that values career flexibility and mentorship over a single dominant trajectory. Small cohort size (4 per year, 16 total) and a close-knit "Med-Peds family" identity with dual PGY-4 chief residents suggest the program prizes individualized mentorship and integration into both parent departments rather than pure subspecialty pipeline production.
