OUR PROGRAM

Over the past 30 years, this course has grown with the evolution of general internal medicine. From changes in the practice of primary care to advances in medicine and surgery, Primary Care Internal Medicine: Principles & Practice has remained at the forefront.

Our faculty has been carefully selected from those clinician/educators at Harvard Medical School who can most effectively present content useful in daily clinical practice. Our comprehensive syllabus will become a year-round reference.
