(HawkID login required) In a department as large as Internal Medicine, getting as many people together for one big celebration is a challenge, but one worth taking on every year.

The “Caitlin Clark Effect” is a phrase used over the last year to refer to the impact of the successes of one of basketball’s most incredible players in history on drawing new interest to the sport and her team. Similarly, the “Int Med Effect,” reasoned this year’s Employee Appreciation Day planners, demonstrated the pride its […]
By most counts, the Department of Internal Medicine has celebrated an Employee Appreciation Day 17 times now in the last couple decades. Each year, the planning committee introduces new elements along with some familiar ones, always with the goal of enhancing community and strengthening the bonds of our shared goals. This year the committee hosted […]

For 13 (non-consecutive) years, the department […]
As with years past, the Department of Internal Medicine expresses its gratitude each spring to its faculty, staff, and trainees with a lunch in the newly christened Jean E. and Renée P. Robillard Atrium. The banner detailing each member’s years of service was updated, allowing everyone a chance to see just how far up the […]
For more than a decade now, the Department has extended its deepest gratitude every spring to the nearly 1,000 faculty, trainees, and staff who each contribute his or her best to its success. Nearly 450 of those members gathered in the MERF Atrium on Monday to celebrate another year of working together toward a common […]
An important aspect of our work in the Department of Internal Medicine is to find ways to collaborate with our colleagues both within the walls of the institution as well as those outside them. This, in part, is why our Continuing Medical Education programs are so critical. Recently, the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism invited […]

In acknowledgment of individual careers with the Department, each employee was […]
