Does 2 years of surgical residency count for internal medicine residency?

Two years of surgical residency typically do not count toward the requirements of an internal medicine residency. Each residency program has its own specific training requirements, and while some skills may overlap, the training focuses on different aspects of patient care. However, some programs may consider prior experience in surgical residency when evaluating candidates, potentially influencing selection or credit for certain rotations. It's best to check with the specific internal medicine program for their policies.
