It was a great MATCH season for TidalHealth’s growing number of residency and fellowship programs.  

The internal medicine residency will welcome 15 new residents for the upcoming academic year. The anesthesiology and family medicine residencies will each welcome four new residents, while the general surgery and transitional year residencies will welcome six.  

The cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease critical care fellowships will each welcome three new fellows, and the gastroenterology, hematology and medical oncology, and endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism fellowships will each welcome two new fellows.

Edward Q. Wilgus Community Clinic

Construction is in progress at the Edward Q. Wilgus Community Clinic, located at 805 E. Church St. on the grounds of what was the historic Hotel Esther in Salisbury, Maryland. Current projects there include flooring, painting, casework and site work. The Wilgus Clinic is currently scheduled to open in early July 2025.

Once open, the Wilgus Clinic will be staffed by TidalHealth primary and specialty care providers and serve as a center of care for a neighborhood and a community historically challenged due to a number of social determinants of health. It’s intended to bridge the gap between the neighborhood and healthcare, reconnect residents to resources, stimulate residential development and reduce emergency department usage for general medical needs.

The clinic will include a TidalHealth FamilyLab and will also serve as home base for TidalHealth’s resident physicians who are specializing in internal medicine. It is expected to accommodate between 12,000 and 15,000 visits per year.

The clinic is part of the TidalHealth Foundation’s SPARK campaign. Learn more about how you can support the clinic and GME at TidalHealth.
