As Vice Chair for Education, I am delighted to welcome you to our vibrant academic community at Penn Medicine. Our Department of Medicine offers an exceptional continuum of training—from medical students and residents to fellows—rooted in a longstanding tradition of clinical excellence, pioneering research, innovative education, and compassionate patient care.
Situated within the Perelman School of Medicine—America’s first medical school, founded in 1765—and affiliated with world-class hospitals including the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Hospital, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center, our programs provide trainees with unparalleled clinical experiences on a dynamic and diverse urban campus.
Our fellowship programs offer advanced training across all internal medicine subspecialties. Fellows learn in a rich and collaborative environment that promotes both clinical excellence and scholarly achievement. With access to nationally recognized faculty, cutting-edge facilities, and a robust research infrastructure, fellows can deepen their expertise, lead original projects, and grow as leaders in their fields. Whether your interests lie in patient care, education, health equity, systems leadership, or research, our programs are designed to support your goals while advancing the health of patients and communities.
At Penn Medicine, we are committed to supporting each trainee’s growth as a clinician, scholar, educator, and whole person. Our department fosters an inclusive, supportive, and resource-rich environment where you can thrive. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and helping you chart your own path in internal medicine.
