News of the coronavirus pandemic and political wrangling often overshadows positive developments in our local communities.
Such is the case with the medical residency program being instituted by the Bayhealth organization to address physician shortages in Kent and Sussex counties. With rapid growth, especially in Sussex, the long-recognized shortages are only growing more acute.
Medical residency programs partner medical school graduates with experienced physicians to give new doctors – under the umbrella of an established healthcare facility – important real-world training for practical application of their medical school education. The three-year programs amount to advanced, graduate-level medical education. When finished, the residents will have had the kind of intense experience that leads to high-quality, long-term healthcare.
