For students who are researching residencies, you are about to embark on the journey of residency which will be the basis of your future medical career.

As you join the group of physicians who practice Med-Peds, you join a dynamic group of outstanding primary care physicians, subspecialists, clinical educators and leaders in healthcare.

We combine two exceptional categorical departments into an integrated residency. Our goal is to train well-rounded doctors who are able to provide outstanding, compassionate clinical care to adults and children in a variety of settings while advocating for and leading within their communities.

Both programs provide a wide range of clinical exposure, opportunities for research and strong faculty. Our residents are exceptional, motivated teachers, impactful leaders and highly skilled physicians.

Virtual Interview Specifics

  • If selected, interviews will be arranged with Med-Peds program directors as a part of a larger application experience. We are aligned with the recommendations from the Med-Peds Program Director's Association with a virtual interview season:
    • We will provide virtual interviews and info sessions for all applicants that focus on what makes us unique while maintaining efficiency. After you are invited to interview, you will have access to an applicant website with a deeper look into our program and updates throughout the interview season. Our hope is that these additional experiences will allow you to make an informed decision during this unusual process.
    • Your interview will start with virtual time with our residents the night prior to your interview allowing time to chat in micro-groups with residents who share your interests and experience the larger resident group dynamic during some virtual games.
    • We will have morning and afternoon interview sessions to accommodate a variety of time zones/scheduling needs. Each session will include an overview by our program leadership and then twenty minute virtual interviews with both Dr. Workman and our Associate Program Director, Dr. Laura Bishop.
    • During the noon hour, we will have an informal faculty panel and time for a followup chat with our residents.
    • We remain available by email throughout this season for any questions or needs that you may have regarding recruitment or the city of Louisville.
