Hear From Our Residents

Caleb Martin

The variety of pathology and acuity of illness at CAMC are unmatched in the area. The Internal Medicine program at CAMC will prepare you for a career in any aspect of both primary care or subspecialty medicine. Friendly staff, compassionate attendings and an environment supportive of education and creativity are some of the stronger aspects of this program. It's easy to find a niche and grow yourself within our program. With world-class rock climbing and white water rafting an hour away and the expansive wilderness of our state right outside your door, West Virginia is an excellent place to learn and practice medicine for the adventurous at heart.

I love working at CAMC because it offers an exceptional learning environment. Our patient population is highly complex, and the pathology you encounter is unmatched. The faculty here are not only knowledgeable but also eager to mentor and guide me through these complexities. CAMC offers some of the most competitive subspecialties. CAMC is also supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, which is great for my partner and me.

Belonging

The CAMC Internal Medicine Residency is committed to an environment of belonging. We embrace individual uniqueness and foster a culture of inclusion and engage all individuals to help them thrive.


At the CAMC Internal Medicine Residency:

  • We foster a safe environment for faculty, staff and learners.
  • We will advance and build our workforce by recruiting, retaining and developing talented faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds.
  • We will address intergroup disparities in areas such as representation, retention, learning outcomes and graduation rates.

Wellness

Residency represents one of the most physically and emotionally taxing times of a young physician’s career and our program is dedicated to helping address the stress that comes with residency training before it becomes overwhelming. The CAMC community acknowledges signs of resident fatigue and burnout and makes an active effort to support trainees in their times of need. A Resident Wellness Committee has been formed within the medicine department and the residents on the committee meet throughout the academic year to plan events that will reduce stress levels and create a warm community for Internal Medicine residents and faculty.
