The Department of Medicine consists of a group of devoted clinician-educators, with a full-time faculty of over 50 and a private part-time faculty of over 75. The residents interact with our faculty daily both on wards and in clinics, and we strongly promote one-on-one education. Our faculty serve as leaders in their respective fields and are engaged in numerous scholarly activities. In addition, many of the core faculty have private practice experience which allows for the information passed to the housestaff to be both evidence-based and practical.
