The Department of Internal Medicine offers courses, clinical clerkships and specialty electives to medical students. It also offers clinical post-graduate training to MD graduates including residency and subspecialty fellowships. The Residency Program offers two tracks, which are a 1-year training (Preliminary Track) and a 3-year training (Categorical Track). The Fellowship training following the residency period is offered in the subspecialties that include cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology-hypertension, hematology-oncology, infectious diseases, rheumatology, and pulmonary medicine and critical care.

Weekly Conferences

The Department of Internal Medicine organizes general Internal Medicine conferences including Mortality and Morbidity conferences, Core Curriculum Lectures, Morning Report, as well as weekly Medical Grand Rounds. In addition to the general Internal Medicine conferences, Med III students are also required to attend lectures during their OPD outpatient rotations, and Med IV students are required to attend Chairman’s Rounds, Student Reports and Board Review Sessions. The residents attend other conferences, such as ICU Conferences, Journal Club, Ambulatory Report, EKG Course, Joint Internal Medicine/Radiology Rounds and Board Review Sessions. In addition, each division runs a weekly or bi-weekly conference and journal review session in their subspecialty.

Agreements

A joint program of academic cooperation between the Department of Internal Medicine at AUBMC and Ayn Wa Zein community hospital in the Shouf mountains began June 15, 2002, whereby residents serve during a rotation through the program as part of their training in Geriatrics.

Another program with the Makassed General Hospital (MGH) was inaugurated in the fall of 2012, whereby interns, residents and Med IV students rotate through the clinical program as part of their in-patient training in Internal Medicine.

In addition, at the start of the Academic Year 2017-2018, a cooperation agreement was made between the Department of Internal Medicine at AUBMC and the Makhzoumi Foundation, whereby residents pass through clinical rotations during their outpatient training in Internal Medicine.
