About the Program
The Fellowship in Integrated Internal Medicine places you inside a working hospital for six months, on the wards where general medicine is actually practised. You join daily rounds with the medicine unit, follow patients from admission through to discharge, and present your cases to a supervising physician. The classroom component runs alongside the clinical work rather than ahead of it, so every topic you study is one you have already met on the floor.
