Real world experience in an innovative setting
The Division of General Internal Medicine is proud to serve the educational needs of healthcare professionals across the university. We have a history of providing a rich and dynamic clinical learning experience in our clinics and our hospital-based services. Each day, our internal medicine residents and medical students accompany our faculty into our clinics and inpatient wards. They’re provided with mentorship, guidance and encouragement as they hone their clinical skills.
Our clinical teams are comprised of professionals from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, College of Social Work and College of Nursing. We welcome trainees from each of these colleges as we believe that the future of medical care will require teamwork and coordination across many disciplines.
