Welcome to Baystate Med-Peds!

Welcome to the combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Program at Baystate-UMass Chan! Within the largest teaching healthcare institution in Western Massachusetts, our 4-year program provides our residents well-rounded and individualized training to match their career goals within outpatient medicine, hospital medicine or subspeciality. For 43 years, our program has taken pride in training exceptional Med-Peds physicians, educators, advocates, and leaders.

A Vibrant and Supportive Med-Peds Community

As one of the larger programs in the Northeast, at Baystate we have a strong Med-Peds identity and presence. Our residents are training with Med-Peds faculty in the adult & pediatric wards, our outpatient Med-Peds clinic, and subspecialty clinics. Many of our Med-Peds faculty are also Baystate alumni. In collaboration with our Internal Medicine and Pediatric Departments, our integrated programs foster a collegial atmosphere that throughout the course of training contribute to impactful mentorship relationships and friendships. Baystate Med-Peds has a culture that sets us apart. Together, we care for our patients—and for each other.

The Community We Serve

We have the privilege of serving a large and varied patient population from across Western Massachusetts and our neighboring states of Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire. This includes providing care for immigrant communities and serving urban, rural, and suburban populations. Throughout training, our residents learn the importance of understanding the uniqueness and challenges faced by the community we serve and have opportunities to engage with local organizations.

Innovative Approach to Training

Our Learner-Manager-Teacher model, an innovation in graduate medical education that was developed at Baystate, emphasizes graduated autonomy as our residents progress throughout their years of training. Our program takes pride in the high caliber of training that balances supervision and independent decision-making for our residents.

For those of you seeking the fulfilling challenge of pursuing a combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency, at Baystate Med-Peds we look forward to sharing the training to support your success. Consider joining us in Western Massachusetts, where you will have the opportunity to make a difference serving a broad patient population while enjoying the history, culture, natural beauty, and quality of life this region offers.
