General Internal Medicine, Section at Shadyside

The General Internal Medicine Section at UPMC was formed in 1998 following the merger of Shadyside Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The Section at Shadyside includes 7 faculty members and 2 fellows. It is an outpatient teaching site for categorical internal medicine residents, medicine-pediatrics combined residents, osteopathic interns and University of Pittsburgh medical students.

The Section's ambulatory care site is located in the Shea Medical Center, in the Physicians Office Building adjacent to the hospital. The new clinic contains 16 exam rooms, a residents' conference room and a research room for coordinating clinical trials. Some areas of special interest are developing within the group that include women's health, sports medicine, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
