Parkview Health in Fort Wayne is expanding its Graduate Medical Education program with the addition of two accredited programs. In addition to its internal medicine and general surgery programs, Parkview says it is adding a transitional year program and a physical medicine and rehabilitation program.
The health system says it has received initial accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education for all four programs.
“We’re building something that is going to impact our communities, our region and our state for years to come,” said Dr. Ray Dusman, president of physician and clinical enterprise at Parkview Health. “By expanding the Parkview Health Graduate Medical Education program, we will attract, train and retain even more highly skilled physicians, resulting in improved access to care and economic growth for the area. We are excited for the continued expansion of our program as we prepare for the arrival of our first resident physicians.”
Parkview says the transitional year program, which is approved for 12 resident physicians per year, serves as a prerequisite for advanced medical residencies. Transitional year resident physicians will begin orientation in June of 2023.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation will be a three-year program for two resident physicians each year. The first resident physicians in this program will start their training in July of 2024.
