include:
Learning a biopsychosocial approach to patient care
Pursuing experiences with patient-centered research
Participating in activities that improve the health of our community
Providing leadership in efforts to improve quality of care
Participating in research and curriculum development that advance

as successor of the department of the Internal
Medicine which was established in 1945.
The head of the department is Dr. T.Ariunaa. The
department is functioning with
five faculty members. The department is running its
