Division Overview

The Department of Medicine trains physicians from many continents in the disciplines of Internal Medicine. The expertise of the General Internal Medicine faculty is called upon to train some of the finest clinicians in the U.S. and abroad. The reputation of the division has extended its training programs far beyond the walls of the University.

General internal medicine is an integral part both of the clinical and educational activities at the University of Miami School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Hospital. The division's leadership role in combining basic education with intensive clinical mentoring begins when medical students first arrive at school and continues through their graduation. At the postgraduate level, residency training in the Residency Training Program in Internal Medicine is classically represented by interpersonal relationships among the faculty and resident. Teaching, research and patient care is uniquely comprehensive in this environment.

University of Miami School of Medicine/Jackson Memorial Hospital Medical Center is the primary location for most curriculum activities. Our many practice sites also provide a broad spectrum of in-patient and out- patient teaching opportunities within this dynamic medical complex include some of the world's outstanding medical centers: The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, The University of Miami Hospital and Clinics, Jackson Memorial Hospital and the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center as well as the broad clinical practices and educational activities throughout South Florida. All of these clinical venues are intrinsic to the varied dimensions of the program.

In concert with our world class colleagues in all specialties throughout the medical center, we provide medical consultation and perioperative care for our patients.
