Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) was established in 1974 and serves a 16-county region in Western North Carolina.
As part of the Internal Medicine program, all residents will rotate 4 weeks during their PGY2 year at the Cherokee Indian Hospital in both the ambulatory and inpatient settings. Clinical experiences will include inpatient care in a 16-bed hospital unit, ED care, primary care clinics, specialty clinics and addiction medicine experiences. Residents will also engage in a structured curriculum in cultural humility during this rotation.
