While the majority of a resident’s time with us is spent at our two core hospitals, University of Louisville Hospital and the Robley Rex Veterans Affairs Medical Center, we have a variety of training sites, each with unique learning situations that adds to our resident's education.

UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE HOSPITAL

University of Louisville Hospital has been a presence in the Louisville area for nearly 200 years.

The current facility was built in 1979, has 404 beds and has undergone several major renovations and expansions.

It houses state of the art equipment and as the major academic center in this region, maintains the highest quality care for our patients.

It is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in this region and our residents spend nearly half of their residency training assigned to U of L.

The University of Louisville is our major sponsoring institution.

ROBLEY REX VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER

The Robley Rex Veterans Affairs Medical Center is located 5 minutes from U of L Hospital and has 103 acute care beds.

Our hospital services the veterans from a wide area including Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

Our residents typically spend about twelve months of their training assigned to the VA over a three-year period.

JEWISH HOSPITAL

Jewish Hospital is a 442 bed regional hospital who has been serving the Louisville community for the past 100 years.

It is located one block from the University of Louisville Hospital and is nationally recognized for its heart care program.

In addition, all transplants aside from bone marrow are performed at Jewish Hospital.

Our residents spend two months assigned to Jewish Hospital during their intern year. One of those months is spent on the GI service and the other on the Nephrology service.

Both are considered outstanding rotations by our residents and are supervised by full-time faculty who have been recognized as wonderful teachers.

NORTON AUDUBON HOSPITAL

Part of the the Norton Healthcare system, Norton Audubon Hospital is located approximately ten minutes from the HSC main campus.

It has 480 beds and is known for its very strong cardiology and pulmonary services. Residents may choose to spend one month as an elective in pulmonary/critical care at Norton Audubon.
