The Division of General Internal Medicine (GIM) is central to teaching in the Department of Medicine. Our faculty members are active in teaching of medical students, residents, fellows and colleagues, and in educational leadership.
Teaching
Members of the Division of GIM attend on multiple "teaching services" where, in addition to providing high-quality subspecialty care to our patients, we provide exemplary clinical supervision to medical (clerkship) students, core Internal Medicine residents, and "off-service" residents.聽 Our key teaching services Include:
- Clinical Teaching Units (CTUs)
- GIM Consultation Services
- GIM Clinics
Some members of the Division have additional clinical and teaching responsibilities in:
- Thrombosis Medicine
- Preoperative Assessment
- Obstetrical Medicine
- Critical Care Medicine (ICU)
In addition to clinical supervision, members of the Division of GIM are active participants in the pre-clerkship undergraduate medical curriculum.
