General Internal Medicine Fellowship

The General Internal Medicine Fellowship aims to prepare internists for careers in academic medicine. Over two years, fellows practice independently and lead academic projects with faculty mentorship.

UT Southwestern offers a diverse clinical and academic environment, including one of the largest safety-net health systems in the U.S. and the nation's second largest Veterans Administration hospital by patient volume. The Division of General Internal Medicine also has robust research and training collaborations with the Peter O'Donnell Jr. School of Public Health.

Tracks

Under the guidance of their mentors, fellows will choose to focus either on research or education:

• Research
• Medical Education

Research

The research track prepares fellows to become scholars with expertise in generating and/or synthesizing evidence. Training through the research track prepares fellows well for a range of careers, including as clinician-investigators in academic Divisions of GIM or other academic units.

Didactics

These occur through a combination of formal coursework and longitudinal mentored teaching. Fellows will have the opportunity to complete coursework through UT Southwestern, up to and including completion of a Master of Public Health or Master of Science in Clinical Investigation.

• Master of Public Health includes three tracks:
  • Quantitative Data Sciences
  • Health Promotion, Structure, and Agency
  • Health Systems Science
• Master of Science in Clinical Investigation includes three pathways:
  • Precision Medicine
  • Interventional Studies
  • Population Health

Experiential Projects

Fellows identify a mentorship committee, led by a primary mentor, to support their research and career development across all phases of training. Together with these mentors and the fellowship director, fellows lead at least one mentored, hypothesis-driven primary research project.

Medical Education

The medical education track prepares fellows to become scholars with expertise in educational research or leadership. Training through the medical education track prepares fellows for a range of careers, including as clinician-educators or educational leaders in academic institutions.

Didactics

These occur through a combination of formal coursework and longitudinal mentored teaching. Fellows have the opportunity to complete coursework, up to and including completion of a Master of Health Professions Education.
