General Internal Medicine – Education

DGIM faculty are responsible for major roles in graduate medical education and residency leadership within the Department of Medicine for students and residents. Education occurs in multiple venues including the hospital wards and units, clinics, ambulatory longitudinal experiences, outpatient offices, and didactic sessions at the hospitals and the Alpert Brown Medical School. Faculty have embraced competency-based education and recognize their crucial role in a learner’s progression from novice to independent physician.

The Department of Medicine supports Faculty Development programs to keep all faculty abreast of updates in medical education, principles of assessment, use of direct observation and delivery of quality feedback. DGIM faculty are committed to their role in advancing learners to become consummate internists.

DGIM members are responsible for curriculum development, residency scholarship, and quality improvement activities. This Division is also home to one of the country’s oldest Primary Care Residency programs, with a strong emphasis on behavioral medicine and preventative health. DGIM also oversees a substance use disorders fellowship.

Members of this division hold major leadership positions in National UME and GME organizations such as the American College of Physicians, Society for General Internal Medicine, Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine and Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine.
