Educational Mission Statement

Georgetown University Hospital Internal Medicine Residency

The Department of Medicine will educate and train Internal Medicine residents to be knowledgeable, skillful and professional in the art and science of Medicine.

The Department of Medicine and the residency program recognize education as one of three vital missions of this Medical Center, along with patient care and research.

We will work to achieve the short-term goal of superior resident training in Internal Medicine, as evidenced by faculty evaluations, superior patient care and competence in Internal Medicine certification (the ABIM exam).

The promotion of future academicians is vital to the maintenance of excellence in the profession of Medicine.  We will strive toward a long-term goal of educating and training future world class practicing physicians, researchers and educators who will maintain the ideals and commitment to excellence of this Department, the Medical Center and Georgetown University.
