Preliminary Internship

This one-year program provides a strong foundation for advanced residency training. Our program consists of approximately 30 preliminary interns and 32 categorical interns each year.

Prelim Year Partnerships with University of Utah Residencies

We have developed partnerships with several residency programs at the University of Utah where applicants may apply, interview, and match as a categorical PGY1 to their career residency program, and train as preliminary interns with our internal medicine program. These candidates do not interview or match separately with internal medicine.
