The Division is the largest of 11 divisions in the Department of Medicine within the School of Medicine at the University. It is the most diverse in terms of activities including patient care, teaching, research, and administration. The University of Pittsburgh has made a long-term commitment to developing a strong Division of General Internal Medicine. This commitment spans excellence in primary care practice at the UPMC Health System, teaching primary care and general internal medicine, and supporting research in nontraditional areas such as outcomes, quality, and cost-effectiveness. In return, the Division has contributed greatly to the mission of the School and has provided the balance of teaching primary care and research within a highly successful and excellent tertiary care center.
