Welcome to the Department of Internal Medicine, a subdivision of the School of Medicine.

This branch of medicine deals with study and nonsurgical management of diseases or disorders involving internal organs in adults.

If you are a physician in the real world you are especially encouraged to contribute to this department and our mother school. We are interested in developing online learning resources related to all areas of internal medicine.
