Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital's internal medicine residency is a large (24 residents/year), university-affiliated program embedded in a 1,131-bed tertiary/quaternary academic medical center that also serves as the primary teaching site for Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. The program's identity is fundamentally subspecialty-oriented: roughly 75% of graduates over the past 15+ years have pursued fellowship training, supported by 25 in-house fellowship programs spanning cardiology, GI, pulmonary/critical care, hematology-oncology, nephrology, and more, with a substantial share of graduates matching into their own fellowships or peer academic centers (Henry Ford, Mayo, University of Michigan). A new primary care track signals an explicit, structured effort to also cultivate general internists and hospitalists rather than treating that path as a byproduct. The program explicitly states aims around procedural competence, evidence-based medicine, and preparing residents to be "competitive for coveted subspecialty training slots," reflecting a training culture built around fellowship placement while still formally valuing primary care and hospitalist trajectories.
