Sub-Specialty Education Coordinators (SECs)

The Subspecialty Education Coordinators (SECs) play a vital role in the Internal Medicine Residency Program.

They partner closely with the IMRP Leadership Team and contribute to the high quality education and experience of our residents.

The SECs assist in residency subspecialty curriculum and clinical rotation design. They are excellent teachers, and provide feedback to the residents regarding their performance. They also work to continually improve their rotations by regularly reviewing and incorporating resident feedback.
