 Overview
The major hallmark of the Division of General Internal
Medicine is diversity, both in demographics and activity.
The GIM division represents one of the largest clinical
units within the College of Human Medicine, with 14
full or part-time faculty from a variety of backgrounds.
Members of the division have major and diverse roles
across the educational spectrum in the College of Human
Medicine, ranging from directing preclinical and clinical
courses to directing the residency program to fellowship
and CME teaching. Most division members at one time
have been recipients of departmental, college, university
or national teaching awards and many have national prominence
in medical education organizations. Allied with this
recognition of teaching excellence has been the continued
demonstration of excellent educational outcomes for
our learners.
The
GIM division is populated with excellent clinicians.
Demand for many of our faculty as primary care providers
is high. The clinical activity of the division is equally
split between the ambulatory and inpatient settings.
Division members have been instrumental in leading the
Health Team's implementation and utilization of the
electronic medical record.
Diversity
in scholarship exists within the division as well. Members
of the division are actively engaged in funded research
in such diverse areas as medical education research,
psychosocial medicine, health services research and
understanding the basic mechanisms of disease. Our ability
to attract external grants and contracts has grown substantially
over the past several years. Division members have also
received external funding for market analyses and business
plan development for medical education technology.
The
Division of General Internal Medicine represents one
of the units within the college with the strongest institutional
memory. Most division faculty members have been at MSU
for years, starting here as students, residents or fellows,
and are fully integrated members of the surrounding
community.
In
the rapidly changing environment of medical care and
medical education the division is well poised to continue
to support the mission of the College of Human Medicine
and Michigan State University for the foreseeable future.
