Welcome to the General Internal Medicine Fellowship Program Website

The University of Pittsburgh General Internal Medicine Fellowship Program is a two-year fellowship designed to prepare future leaders in academic general internal medicine. The fellowship program is broadly divided into two tracks that represent the major career paths of academic generalists. The Clinician-Researcher track is designed for individuals who wish to pursue a career in clinical research. This track provides the skills and experiences necessary to develop, execute, interpret, and secure funding for clinical and health services research studies. The foundation of this track is the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP), which leads to a Master's of Science degree in Clinical Research. Fellows in this track complete a mentored research project, develop a full-length grant proposal ready for submission, and participate in the clinical and teaching activities of the Division of General Internal Medicine.

The Clinician-Educator track is designed to train future leaders in medical education. The foundation of this track is the Clinician Educator Training Program (CETP), which leads to a Master's of Science degree in Medical Education. The CETP provides an integrated program of didactic material and precepted teaching experiences to enhance fellows' skills in classroom and clinical instruction, curriculum development, professional leadership, medical education, and medical administration. In addition, fellows take core research curriculum courses offered through the CRTP, complete a mentored research or curriculum development project, and participate in the clinical and teaching activities of the Division of General Internal Medicine.

Fellows in both tracks may further concentrate their efforts in a particular area of interest, including Health Services Research, Clinical Epidemiology, Women's Health, Palliative Care, Medicine-Pediatrics, Underserved Populations, and Health Care Disparities.

Physicians wishing to apply for a fellowship in the Division of General Internal Medicine should submit a formal application form, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of support (one of which should be from the applicant's department head or a representative designated by the department head) (link to Application Information). Applicants must be BE/BC in Internal Medicine by the time of entry into the fellowship.
