Our program aims
Welcome to TidalHealth Transitional Year Residency! We appreciate your interest in joining us to begin your residency journey. Our Salisbury hospital, with roots dating back to 1897 as Peninsula General Hospital, proudly transitioned to TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in 2020. The health system is well-known and has been recognized with national awards for clinical excellence.
We recruit six Transitional Year residents each year for our program. We have a program director and a program coordinator. We have additional faculty members who are experienced physicians dedicated to patient care and medical education.
