The Department of Internal Medicine's 65 full-time faculty are working together to fulfill the missions of the East Carolina University School of Medicine in medical education, patient care and research. We are pleased that U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks ECU in the top 15 primary care medical schools in America. We are proud of our subspecialty programs and the residency affords excellent preparation for those who plan to pursue a fellowship. Residents learn from teaching attendings who devote themselves fully to patient care and from those actively involved in research and developing new technologies. Pitt County Memorial Hospital offers superb resources for graduate medical education.
Residents care for patients with a wide range of conditions from the common to the most esoteric.
We believe our patient population is second to none and that patients are our most important teachers. Ambulatory training is based at the Brody Medical Sciences Building with over 52,000 visits each year and at several satellite practices and community offices. Each resident also has an opportunity to work with community physicians in primary and subspecialty care. In addition to continuity clinics and block rotations, each subspecialty emphasizes the evaluation and management of ambulatory patients. We are deeply aware of the stresses of residency training and strive to support the personal as well as the professional development of our housestaff.
