Possible areas of research will include, but are not limited to, prevention and screening; evidence-based medicine; implementation science; clinical trials in primary care; new models of primary care delivery; minority health and disparities; quality improvement and patient safety; unhealthy alcohol and drug use and cardiovascular disease risk. Fellows will be mentored by the GIM Division Director and the Research Director.

General internal medicine practitioners are trained to provide comprehensive primary care services to adults in an outpatient setting as well as to hospitalized patients suffering from a broad range of ailments. Many of our practitioners are also board certified in pediatrics and some in geriatrics. We manage chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and developmental disorders, treat acute illness like respiratory infections and joint pain and provide preventive health care with the goal of preventing illnesses before they start.
Our aim is to develop long-term healing relationships with our patients and help them navigate their care within a complex medical system. Our healthcare team is composed of board certified physicians of internal medicine, geriatrics and pediatrics, as well as nurse practitioners, pharmacists, social workers, registered nurses, medical assistants and many skilled support staff. Within our rich academic environment, we dedicate ourselves each day to providing the highest quality care to our patients, the highest caliber education to our learners, and the highest impact research to drive clinical innovation. We are proud to be advocates for our patients and mentors for tomorrow’s physicians.
