Baptist Medical Center South, a 454-bed facility located near the MIMRP Ambulatory Care Clinic, is the training hospital. The area's largest medical facility, Baptist is equipped to care for most primary and tertiary medical problems. Baptist provides care to over 18,500 inpatients each year, and the Emergency Department has more than 40,000 patients visit annually. The medical center has six intensive care units in operation with a total of sixty intensive care beds. Each unit utilizes state-of-the-art technology and offers the latest equipment for hemodynamic and electrophysiolcical monitoring
Upon entry to the program, residents "inherit" patients from graduating residents as well as being assigned patients from the inpatient General Medical Service. Residents act as primary care physicians and are responsible for providing both comprehensive and preventive care to their panel of patients. When patients are discharged from the General Medical Service, residents arrange to continue their treatment by appointment at the Ambulatory Care Clinic. Therefore, continuity of care is assured with each patient having his or her own resident physician. An attending faculty physician is assigned specific teaching days and is always accessible to residents working at the clinic.
