A Message from Lawrence Kaplan, MD

The mission of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Temple University School of Medicine is to provide excellence in patient care, education and research.  The General Internal Medicine faculty provide comprehensive, patient-centered primary care to our patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, while teaching the fundamentals of general internal medicine to the health care providers of the future. 

Members of the Section of General Internal Medicine also play key roles in the care of patients with HIV.  General Internal Medicine faculty are involved in numerous educational and research programs in areas such as clinical skills training, physician-patient communications, ambulatory medical education and clinical trials.
