NOTE: Changes Regarding the McKeesport Internal Medicine Residency Program
Thank you for your interest in the Internal Medicine Residency Program at UPMC McKeesport. The UPMC McKeesport Internal Medicine Residency Program has a strong history of training caring and compassionate physicians who provide high quality, patient-centered care.
In order to prioritize the experiences of our current residents and support their preparation for the next step in their career path, the UPMC McKeesport Internal Medicine Residency Program will not be recruiting new residents for future classes. The program will graduate our final Internal Medicine class in the Summer of 2027. It has been our distinct honor and privilege to educate a history of dedicated physicians.

Our residency is a rich and celebrated program that has been fully accredited since 1976 and is part of the UPMC family. We are a three-year categorical program that will provide you with the skills and confidence to practice as a primary care physician, hospitalist, or enter subspecialty training. Our residency program is sponsored by the UPMC Graduate Medical Education.
A significant focus of our training, however, is your development as a primary care physician to help keep patients safe, happy and trusting in you as a physician. We provide broad-based clinical training in Internal Medicine, while serving the health needs of our community. Our program’s core value is a commitment to educate and train residents to become competent physician leaders who provide high quality, patient-centered care. We provide a supportive working and learning environment that fosters professional growth and guides our residents as caring and compassionate physicians.
(Our program fully embraces the 6 GME competencies. In addition, we have adopted our own 7th competency – balance between professional and personal lives. Our Program is designed to promote camaraderie between residents and faculty, resulting in a “big family” supportive environment.)
