Mass General Brigham leverages integrated residency and fellowship programs that span multiple institutions within their health system to provide trainees with an unmatched breadth and depth of clinical experience.

Dr. John Patrick Co explains how these integrated programs combine resources and expertise from various hospitals to create training experiences that are greater than the sum of their parts, highlighting the system's philosophy of evolving healthcare and education together.

Dr. Jason Morris shares his perspective from the emergency medicine residency, emphasizing the benefits of exposure to diverse patient demographics, different institutional practices, and access to a wide array of faculty expertise, all contributing to a more comprehensive and adaptable medical education.

This integrated approach also encourages cross-institutional learning and culture exchange, strengthening clinical operations and educational quality while enabling trainees to discover niche career paths. The program is intentionally designed to feel like one cohesive experience rather than separate silos, enhancing trainee engagement and leadership opportunities.
