Camaraderie with Fellow Residents/Fellows

Resident/Fellow culture and friends will continue to grow in our program. As a new program, we don’t have veteran residents in our specialty area, but UND does have a variety of other established residents/fellows in programs such as Transitional Year, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Geriatric Medicine, and Hematology/Oncology. More than 100 residents/fellows in these various programs are within the Sanford Health system in Fargo, N.D.

Resident Testimonials

Hallie Thompson, IM PGY3	I'm very happy with my decision to complete residency at UND and live in the Fargo/Moorhead area. The small size of the program allows for your co-residents to become like a second family, and the attendings that we work with become great mentors throughout the years of training. We receive ample learning opportunities in the bread-and-butter cases of internal medicine while getting exposure to rare and interesting pathologies at a large tertiary care center. With the end of my residency training drawing near, I feel very prepared to take the next step as an attending after training at UND.
Dre Steinwehr, IM PGY2	Residency at UND provides great training opportunities in a fast-paced environment and ability to train with a wide variety of generalist and specialist attending physicians. You get the chance to work at a Level 1 Trauma Center that is a large referral center for 100's of miles around the four+ state area granting you access to advanced pathologies that are not always seen. This program also offers flexibility in scheduling so you can tailor your rotations to your interests. Aside from that, Fargo is a moderate-sized city with most of the amenities one may need, though it has a small-town feel where you will see friends, residents, and attendings at community events.
