MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

WELCOME!!
I hope the information we provide on our Department of Medicine's Home Page is
helpful to all our readers, interested individuals, faculty and students alike.
The Department of Medicine is one of the largest departments in the University,
with approximately 600 faculty at military medical
centers across the country. Our faculty are
involved in teaching students throughout the four year medical school
curriculum, and precepting students in clinical
settings, as well as caring for adults with complex illnesses and conducting
basic, clinical and educational research. In addition to clerkships and subinternships in clinical medicine, we organize and
support interdepartmental courses that develop basic clinical skills and teach
general concepts underlying the management of clinical disorders.
The Department's mission and goals:
- fosters and assesses the skills, knowledge, and professionalism of students necessary for success in graduate medical education and military medical practice;
- maintains an academic environment strongly supporting productive basic science and clinical research endeavors;
- fosters academic excellence through effective faculty development programs, periodic faculty review, and strong support for academic advancement;
- demonstrates through a skilled faculty the role model of a compassionate, dedicated caregiver and teacher as well as an innovative, ethical clinician-scientist;
- supports military readiness with in-depth expertise on infectious diseases, toxic exposures, wellness measures, and other internal medicine concerns of particular operational significance;
- fosters academic excellence in professional training throughout military graduate medical education;
- provides public presentations supporting graduate and continuing medical education on internal medicine and related topics.
The
Department of Medicine is responsible for the following medical student courses
and clinical experiences:
- First Year: Introduction to Clinical Medicine I (ICM I)
- Second Year: Clinical Concepts, and ICM II & ICM
III
- Third Year: 3rd Year Clerkships
