Internal Medicine Residency Program
The NEA Baptist Internal Medicine Residency Program trains residents on a highly focused, tailored program led by experienced teaching faculty who encourage a dynamic learning environment.
Training in our community-based program, residents benefit from more hands-on primary care and subspecialty experience through one-on-one work in clinical settings. Likewise, as part of the Baptist Memorial Health Care System, our Internal Medicine Residents will be fully prepared to practice medicine by mastering the required curricula, disciplines and technologies to succeed as an Internal Medicine doctor.

LETTER FROM THE Program Director
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide innovative internal medicine resident education in an environment of high-quality internal medicine patient care. Our graduating physicians will be prepared to practice Internal Medicine with dedication, while mastering the science and technology of the evolving health care system, in order to become leaders as Internal Medicine physicians.
Our History
NEA Baptist Medical Education began their Internal Medicine Residency program in July of 2018 with six Resident Physicians from across the nation. Our first class of Residents completed the program in June 2021. Currently, our program adds eight residents each July. We have twenty-four Internal Medicine Residents each year.
Our Philosophy
The Residency Program aligns with our mission of healing, preaching and teaching, and complements our approach to providing comprehensive, high-quality health care for patients throughout Northeast Arkansas. The creation of a learning environment with a culture of respect and accountability for physician well-being is crucial to the ability of those working in it to deliver the safest care to our patients.
