General medicine

A number of health care professionals work together as a team to meet these needs.

Our clinical teaching unit, located on the fifth floor on the D south wing, is a 22-bed program for patients requiring acute medical intervention. It is a medical unit, with care overseen by an internist, (physician specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of adults) and a group of residents and medical students in training, collaborating with a team of health professionals to meet the needs of our patients.
