Cherry Hill Sub-Internship

Mentoring Tomorrow's Leaders Today

At Swedish Family Medicine Residency Cherry Hill, we train family doctors to be excellent clinicians, leaders within their communities, and advocates for social justice.

In addition to training family physician residents, we have a long tradition of training medical students through a four-week sub-internship experience. We believe that extending training to medical students is our responsibility and serves as one strategy to fulfilling our mission. We know that our residents and faculty are able to build and hone their skills through teaching each other, as well as teaching medical students. Finally, we believe that one strategy to address the systemic ills of the US healthcare system is to work to build a robust pipeline of medical students entering the field of family medicine.

Through working with our team of physicians, residents and staff, you will gain a firsthand understanding of our program, and will be able to experience our brand of family medicine.  We are deeply committed to full spectrum family medicine and clinical excellence. Moreover, we are committed to using that expertise to care for underserved and disadvantaged individuals and communities. We are staunch advocates for social justice and are committed to using our power and privilege as physicians to undo institutional racism within healthcare and our society. 

We seek sub-internship applicants who have:

• committed to a career in family medicine

• demonstrated excellence in all core clinical clerkships (Primary Care, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN)

• demonstrated commitment to working with and advocating for underserved and disadvantaged populations.

Students should review the goals and objectives of the course before beginning the application process.
