Internal medicine is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases of adults. The Department of Internal Medicine's educational, patient care, and research activities cover all facets of the discipline, including general internal medicine and primary care as well as the specialized areas of allergy and immunology, cardiology, clinical pharmacology, endocrinology and metabolism, gastroenterology and hepatology, hematology, oncology, blood and marrow transplant, infectious diseases, nephrology, pulmonary, critical care, occupational medicine, and rheumatology.

The department is committed to the complete spectrum of medical education, from didactic and clinical education of M.D. students to resident and fellowship training.

M.D. Student Training

Department of Internal Medicine faculty members bear a major share of teaching first- and second-year M.D. students. In the first year, faculty members participate in 050:120 Medical Cell Biology, 050:240 Human Organ Systems, and 148:251 Principles of Medical Immunology. In the second year, they participate in 071:105 Pharmacology for Health Sciences: Medical and 061:103 Principles of Infectious Diseases. They are key participants in 050:162 Foundations of Clinical Practice I, 050:163 Foundations of Clinical Practice II, 050:164 Foundations of Clinical Practice III, and 050:165 Foundations of Clinical Practice IV ICD.

In the third year, the department's faculty members teach students for six focus weeks in 078:101 Inpatient Internal Medicine and for four weeks in 078:102 Outpatient Internal Medicine at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, or hospitals of the Des Moines Area Medical Education Consortium. M.D. students actively participate as members of an inpatient ward team in 078:101 Inpatient Internal Medicine and in the evaluation and management of patients at outpatient internal medicine clinics in 078:102 Outpatient Internal Medicine.

In the fourth year, M.D. students may select a clinical experience to fit their own career goals from courses offered in general medicine, subspecialties, intensive care, and a subinternship program.

Residency Program, Postgraduate Work

The department offers a three-year residency training program in internal medicine. In addition, most of the department's specialty divisions offer two- and three-year clinical and research fellowships, in which fellows develop special knowledge and skills relevant to their specialties. Fellows who hold doctoral degrees may be accepted to programs whose major focus is laboratory research.

Facilities

Teaching in the Department of Internal Medicine takes place in the medical services and laboratories of University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and in Des Moines at the Veterans Affairs Central Iowa Health Care System and Iowa Methodist Medical Center.
