"We are preparing competent doctors who will thrive in 21st century settings."
David B. Sweet, MD, FACP, Program Director, Internal Medicine 2004-2023

David B. Sweet MD has served the Department of Medicine as Program Director for 19 years. His contributions are many as he fostered educational innovation and sponsored the creation of four new fellowships for our health system. He has served as a clear advocate for educational excellence, and as a beloved mentor for all the faculty and residents who have served under his care. Dr. Sweet successfully led our department to charter membership in the ACGME's ten year Educational Innovations Project from 2006 to 2016. This participation freed the residency to innovate with 21 residencies nationally, including Duke, Mayo Clinic, The Ohio State University, Beth Isael and the Universty of Cincinnati. The purpose of the EIP was to create learning experiences that improved patient care. Since completion in 2016 many innovations that Summa worked to create have been adopted in other residencies in North America and Canada. This focus on innovation continues at Summa.

Dr. Sweet is the prior Program Director for Summa Internal Medicine and Professor of Medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University.

program honors

Our residency programs for Internal Medicine and Transitional Year are continuously accredited by the ACGME.

In 2006 Summa IM successfully applied for charter membership in the Educational Innovations Project, a ten year ACGME program to evaluate and develop new educational approaches for residents that result in improved patient safety and outcomes. During this time we worked with 23 residencies nationally to develop and share progressive elements of our curriculum, including resident training for safe transitions of care, quality improvement, population health, the patient centered home model and resident leadership and teaching skill.

All of these elements are visible in our program today as a result of this opportunity to work and publish with outstanding educators across North America.

October Resident Cycling Event

18 residents, faculty members and graduates met in the national park on a cold October morning to take to the trails together.

Our first leg led to Brandywine Falls and a tailgating breakfast. From there a group continued north past meadows, forests and the occasional startled deer.

It was a morning filled with laughter, discovery, conversation (and one flat tire).

Dr. Rayl showed us his bike mechanic surgical skills; Eddy's Bike Store delivered gleaming new bikes to the trail for riders.

Cycling: valuable time together on the trail, building resilience- a perfect morning together off campus!
