to it, employ life-long learning, and are able to balance their personal
life with their careers in order to serve their patients with excellence
and compassion while promoting the health of the communities they serve
as well as their own families.Our graduates will be competent in differential diagnosis of complex medical
presentations, will have expertise in health maintenance, and will be

of internal medicine based on evidence-based medicine principles, and
