About Division of General Internal Medicine

The Division of General Internal Medicine is one of ten divisions within the Department of Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The mission is best expressed through its commitment to patient care, medical education, research, and innovation, as well as its regional and national presence as a leader in the comprehensive care and treatment of the adult patient. The Division consists of seven Sections: four clinical sections and three non-clinical sections. The clinical sections of Primary Care, Hospitalist Medicine, Perioperative and Consultative Medicine, and the VA General Internal Medicine (including both primary care and hospitalist medicine) focus on responding to our constantly evolving landscape of healthcare at both Froedtert Hospital and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. The three non-clinical sections allow for rapid growth and strong infrastructure to support the three additional missions of MCW: research (through the Research Section), education (through the Faculty Development Section, and community engagement (through the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement Section). Many faculty members serve in leadership roles with the Society of General Internal Medicine, the Society of Hospital Medicine and the American College of Physicians, and present frequently at regional and national meetings of these societies. The Division is home to many of the key educational leaders in the Department of Medicine, and a large health services research group with over $10 million in federal research funding. The GIM Research Section aims to create research infrastructure and build a culture of research across the Division that facilitates and expands research funding, supporting clinical, population, education, and industry research.
