Welcome to the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine!

As your Chief Residents for the 2025–2026 academic year, it is our absolute honor to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome. You’ve reached an exciting milestone in your medical career, and we’re thrilled to have you join our Marshall family.

Residency is a time of tremendous growth—clinically, professionally, and personally. Here at Marshall, you will be immersed in a dynamic and supportive environment that challenges and empowers you to become the best version of yourself as a physician. Our program is built on a foundation of teamwork, mentorship, and academic rigor, and you will quickly find that our close-knit community is one of our greatest strengths.

Our residents care for a diverse patient population across a variety of clinical settings, including our university hospital, the VA Medical Center, and community-based clinics. These experiences, combined with dedicated faculty mentorship, will sharpen your clinical skills and help you develop your unique path within internal medicine.

As Chiefs, our mission is to advocate for you, guide you, and support you throughout your residency. We are committed to fostering a culture of compassion, curiosity, professionalism, and inclusion. Whether you’re preparing for fellowship, hospital medicine, primary care, or academic medicine, we are here to help you navigate each step of the journey.

We know that residency can be demanding, but you won’t go through it alone. You’ll be surrounded by peers, mentors, and faculty who genuinely care about your success and well-being. Marshall is more than a training program—it’s a family.

We’re so excited to welcome you to Huntington, West Virginia, and to the heart of Marshall Medicine. We can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish in the years ahead.

With pride and excitement,
The 2025–2026 Chief Residents
