Training Sites
Residents of Saint Mary’s Internal Medicine Program experience a wide variety of medical specialties and services through multiple training sites.
Saint Mary's Hospital
Saint Mary's Hospital is a 347-bed licensed acute care, community teaching hospital located in Waterbury, Connecticut, 18 miles from Yale University School of Medicine, and within a 2-hour drive from both Boston and New York City. Because Saint Mary’s serves a region that includes an urban center, suburban communities, and farming areas, resident physicians receive a broad number of experiences both in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
A significant number of our community physicians were trained locally in the Saint Mary’s Hospital program, or through the Yale Primary Care Internal Medicine Training Program. As such, they take exceptional pride in their hospital and community.
On site, the residency program is supported by a full-time program coordinator, program director, associate program directors, many key clinical faculty, and many distinguished part-time teaching faculty.

Family Health Center
The Family Health Center (FHC) was created in 1930 as a vital part of Saint Mary’s Hospital’s link to the Waterbury community, and in keeping with its mission and goals. It serves 90% of the uninsured and Medicaid-insured population in the Waterbury area. Because it has hosted residents since 1963, it is well-equipped to support a large number of providers and their patients. The clinic also hosts several specialty practices, including but not limited hypertension, cardiology, pulmonary, gastroenterology, infectious diseases, general surgery and surgical subspecialties, obstetrics and gynecology.
Supportive services include:
- Secure computer access to radiology films and reports, hospital dictations, inpatient and outpatient labs, and cardiology reports
- Full-time financial counseling and social services
- Interpreter services
Yale-New Haven Hospital
Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH), one of the oldest established hospitals in the United States, is a tertiary referral center and an urban community hospital with approximately 900 beds. Residents care for patients with common medical problems and patients with severe disease who might benefit from bone marrow and cardiac transplantation, cortical stimulation and stereotactic neurosurgery, investigative cancer protocols, and other new and innovative technological advances. Residents at Saint Mary’s Hospital participate in the elective rotations offered at YNHH and research opportunities.
