Welcome to the Department of Medicine

Our robust research programs seek to improve the health and health care of people globally through various discoveries and applications.

We offer innovative patient care for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human disease and illness. Our physicians and health care professionals are dedicated to providing compassionate and high quality care for all who seek help.

We provide clinical training and education in all of the disciplines of internal medicine, enabling clinical practitioners to deliver compassionate and pioneering health care to patients.

We strive to advance health and health equity in our local community through developing, coordinating, and sustaining partnerships with community organizations, as exemplified by our Community Partnership Program (CPP).

We are dedicated to empowering every member of our department to realize their full potential. We cultivate a culture grounded in inquiry, curiosity, and open exploration. In our commitment to discovery and learning, we uphold the essential freedom of our faculty and students to speak openly about the issues that matter to them and to pursue research and study in the areas they choose. These freedoms are the foundation of our academic mission.

We design and distribute web and digital communications in service of the department mission’s five cornerstones — research, education, clinical care, diversity & health equity, and community partnership–and translate complex scientific research for nonacademic audiences.
