The U-M Medical School Department of Internal Medicine Division of General Medicine aims to provide outstanding educational experiences for learners that foster optimal learning while ensuring efficient and effective patient care.
Our division holds regularly scheduled conferences with the majority being available for physicians to earn CME credit. The University of Michigan Medical School is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Additional conferences/CME opportunities include:
The Division of General Medicine Steven E. Gradwohl, MD Art of Primary Care Award and Lectureship was created in memory of Dr. Steven E. Gradwohl, MD, a general internist and primary care physician in our division from 1994-2013. Dr. Gradwohl was a passionate and dedicated teacher who passed on his love of general medicine to the many trainees he encountered throughout his career. The Steven E. Gradwohl, MD Art of Primary Care Award and Lectureship gift fund (made possible by his family, colleagues, and friends) celebrates his legacy, honors his spirit of collaboration, and supports innovation events and workshops where internal medicine physicians gather and share best practices and learn from each other, as well as invited lectures by nationally recognized experts who focus on providing effective and compassionate primary care.
Steven E. Gradwohl, MD was a general internist and primary care physician who practiced at University of Michigan Health from 1994 until the time of his sudden passing in 2013. Dr. Gradwohl served as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and practiced at the Briarwood Medical Group throughout the entirety of his career. His superior patient care and dedication to his patients made him a sought-after primary care doctor and won him the high distinction of being known as the “physician’s physician.” While Dr. Gradwohl's death came far too soon, he left behind an incredible legacy, both within the Division of General Medicine and the Department of Internal Medicine. A passionate and dedicated teacher, Dr. Gradwohl passed on his love of general internal medicine and primary care to the many trainees he encountered throughout his career.
The Division of General Medicine Steven E. Gradwohl, MD Art of Primary Care Award and Lectureship gift fund was established by Dr. Gradwohl’s family, colleagues, and friends to celebrate his legacy, honor his spirit of collaboration, and promote continued education in general medicine. The fund supports innovation events and workshops where internal medicine physicians gather and share best practices and learn from each other, as well as invited lectures by nationally recognized experts who focus on providing effective and compassionate primary care. The program also sponsors an annual award to a member of the U-M general medicine faculty who embodies the spirit of high-quality care and investment in training that Dr. Gradwohl believed in.
The Gradwohl Art of Primary Care gift fund inspires us to dream about a healthier future and a better health care delivery system, in which all patients have access to high quality primary care and all physicians and health care staff can reach for opportunities to accomplish their purpose and achieve their full potential, both personally and professionally.
Many of our faculty take part in and lead the University of Michigan Medical School Medical Arts Program. This program aims to enhance medical students’ and house officers’ ability to provide high-quality, humanistic clinical care through experiences and analysis of the musical, theatrical, literary, and visual arts that focus on essential, but often overlooked skills such as empathy, awareness of social context, and comfort with the ambiguity and uncertainty that are a pervasive element of clinical care.
Several General Medicine faculty members hold leadership positions in the below programs.
The mission of the Center for Health Communications Research (CHCR) is to integrate behavioral science, technology, and art to create research interventions that inspire informed health decisions, broaden access to health information, and advance the field of health communications.
The multidisciplinary CHCR team, headed by Director, Lawrence An, MD and Co-Director, Sarah Hawley, PhD, MPH, includes health care researchers, project managers, software engineers, designers, and behavioral scientists. CHCR is a shared resource of the Rogel Cancer Center and prioritizes projects that focus on cancer prevention and improving cancer care and outcomes. View their work.
The Institute for Healthcare Policy & Innovation (IHPI) National Clinician Scholars Program, part of the National Clinician Scholars Program, offers unparalleled training for clinicians as change agents driving policy-relevant research and partnerships to improve health and health care.
The goal of the program is to eliminate health disparities, invent new models of care, and achieve higher quality health care at lower cost by training nurse and physician researchers to work as leaders and collaborators embedded in communities, health care systems, government, foundations, and think tanks in the United States and around the world.
“When I did my internal medicine rotation in the third year of medical school, I knew I had found the specialty I wanted to be in for the rest of my career. As a general internist, I get to both think deeply about diagnosis and treatment and consider the needs of the whole patient in management plans (not just one of their organ systems). I’ve been privileged and challenged to be the primary care provider for adults with complicated medical problems and to make an impact on their lives over time.”
