The principles of our program

Commitment to excellence

Our residency program offers a premier learning environment that balances both inpatient and outpatient training for a more comprehensive educational experience. Residents will be taught and mentored by members of the highly selective Mid-Atlantic States Permanente Medical Group, one of the top medical groups in the country that has achieved recognition for quality

Learner-centered model

You will get to learn in an educational setting where your training and education are the primary focus. Our faculty have the time to truly dedicate themselves to teaching, so they can provide the personalized attention each resident needs to build a solid foundation of medical knowledge. Mentors are also assigned to each resident upon matriculation, and are readily available to provide support and guidance. 

Focus on patients ​

Our program will provide outstanding training that aligns with the values of patient-centered care, including respect for patient preferences, emotional support, and care continuity. Our integrated system—which combines quality health care with an award-winning health plan—streamlines operations for our doctors, relieving them of unnecessary administrative tasks. This allows our physicians and residents to keep the focus on our patients’ care in order to deliver the best possible outcomes.

What our residents have to say

I wanted to be a part of a program that values resident feedback and actively uses it to evolve and improve the program. On top of that, I wanted a program that emphasizes close personal attention and is dedicated to teaching its residents. KPMAS gives me both of those things and more! I also have the opportunity to learn directly from specialists on a regular basis, which helps me stay up to date on the newest medical guidelines for our patients.

This program values what is valuable in post-graduate medical education: the time and consideration needed for patients and their care – with appropriate patient volumes and a host of ancillary support to facilitate care, space for learning and education – with the most dedicated, absolutely fantastic attendings in all specialties and with fiercely protected teaching time such as academic halfdays and daily noon conference and resident’s wellness – with a barrage of golden weekends and respected wellness time and most importantly: an ever-supportive culture from our faculty and leaders.
