Our residency programs have become one of the most highly competitive programs in the region. We are gaining an outstanding reputation for offering solid education and experience to our residents. The programs are overseen by the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Unit. Residency programs at KHCC begin with an Orientation Day for new interns. This welcoming event is an important opportunity to help residents adjust to their new positions at the center and to inform them about all educational resources available at KHCC. Residents at KHCC are divided into two groups: transitional residents and categorical residents. Although in the first year all residents receive similar education; different future plans for the two groups draw different paths in following years.

Transitional residents are an outstanding group of residents that join KHCC with the intent to do their residency in the United States. By spending a year or two at KHCC, these residents expand their experiences and raise their chances of getting admitted to top US medical schools due to the excellent reputation of the center. We believe that upon their return to the country with the state of art knowledge they obtained abroad, these doctors will raise Jordan's share in possessing top healthcare providers in the region. KHCC plays an important role in this reverse brain drain process, as many of these residents aim at coming back and being part of the big KHCC family.

Currently, the Center trains residents in the following specialties:

• Internal Medicine

• Pediatrics

• Radiology

• Radiation Oncology

• Pathology

• Surgery
