Internal Medicine

The Internal Medicine Rotations are designed to provide the resident with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills about the clinical course, manifestations and therapy of core disease states through direct instruction, observation and modeling by the preceptor. The rotation allows some flexibility in focused topics to meet the interests of the resident. Residents will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge through active participation in the multidisciplinary team and focused projects relating to internal medicine with coaching and facilitation occurring by the preceptor.
