The Medicine department is the cornerstone of clinical education for the medical students as they start their clinical experience by providing the “introduction to Clinical Medicine” and subsequently by integrating patient care with bedside education for the students and the “Internal Medicine Residents”. The department is expanding by adding new faculty in a variety of specialties and subspecialties to enhance and diversify students’ experience. The faculty members are “team leaders” that provide high quality care to their patients through a team approach of junior and senior medical students, an intern and (a junior /senior) medical resident enrolled the Palestian Medical Council Residency Program, thus providing a comprehensive approach to medical education and learning as well as outstanding care to our patients.
