Internal Medicine

The Department of Internal Medicine faculty consists of practicing health care professionals from Northeast Ohio Medical University’s affiliated hospitals throughout northeast Ohio. Our faculty members volunteer their time to train our students. These volunteer faculty members model the University’s core values of competence, communication, caring, character, curiosity and community in their daily practice and their teaching and mentoring of medical students. The department’s success relies on the strengthening of our affiliations with our community partners in health care delivery and our ability to work cooperatively and collaboratively with researchers and educators throughout the entire medical school and university.
