Howard University Program
About This Program
Our residency program offers a fully teaching inpatient service with no non-teaching patients. As an inner-city hospital, we serve underserved and underinsured populations, providing exposure to a wide range of pathology. Residents rotate through our hospital, a nearby VA, and community clinics with private physicians, gaining broad experience in both inpatient and outpatient care to prepare for fellowship or independent practice.
