Internal Medicine Interest Group

Our Mission

The Internal Medicine Interest Group aims to create relationships between medical students and internal medicine doctors in our community. We promote mentoring opportunities for medical students and provide information about the profession of internal medicine and its sub-specialties.

Our Events

IMIG hosts a series of lectures and events focusing on particular sub-specialties of internal medicine to allow students to ask questions directly to fellows and learn more about the options available to internal medicine doctors wishing to sub-specialize.
