Message from the Chair
When I became the Department’s John W. Clarke Chair in July 2022, I joined a history of distinguished leaders and became the Department’s first female chair. An awareness of the importance of balancing education, research, and patient care while serving the unique needs of each stakeholder in our community permeates the medical school and our Department.
The Department is the largest in the system with 180 distinguished physician faculty across 11 divisions, including esteemed emeriti faculty, 218 postgraduate trainees (114 are training in Internal Medicine and 16 are in Med/Peds). Most divisions have vibrant fellowship programs; the department has 88 fellows. Medical students and trainees recognize outstanding faculty with an annual Honor Roll reception.
Research endeavors include NIH-funded studies, industry-sponsored clinical trials, and investigator-initiated biomedical research. These initiatives advance medical knowledge and translate into enhanced patient care and outcomes. Research projects and mentors are highlighted in the Rudi Garg Annual Department of Medicine Research Day.
At the helm of our leadership is a distinguished cabinet, guiding our strategic initiatives and decisions. This includes Vice Chairs for these eight areas: Clinical Affairs; Diversity and Inclusion; Research; Education; Quality; Graduate Medical Education; Strategy, and Community Outreach. Together, we are committed to shaping the future of healthcare through collaboration, innovation, and compassionate care.
Join us in exploring the Department’s exciting opportunities. We strive to uphold the highest standards in academic medicine with a dynamic, nationally and internationally reknown faculty who enjoy preparing future leaders in healthcare.
