Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Mercy Health Fairfield Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program located?

We are located at 3000 Mack Road, Fairfield, OH, 45014.

How are resident supervised in the Internal Medicine Residency Clinic?

PGY-1 residents require direct supervision from an attending physician for all patient encounters. As residents transition into their PGY-2 and PGY-3 years, they acquire graduated autonomy and responsibility in decision-making depending on the visit type and resident progress.

How many patients do residents see per half-day in the Internal Medicine Residency Clinic?

PGY-1 residents start with 2 patients per half day and progress to five patients per half day over the course of their intern year. During the PGY-2 year, residents will see six patients per half day. In the PGY-3 year, residents will see up to 7 patients per half day. 

Do residents help with teaching of medical students?

Medical education is an integral part of our residency program. PGY-1 residents can begin to help with teaching medical students; however, medical students will usually work with PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents.
