General Internal Medicine in Minnesota

Specialty Groups

The Division of General Internal Medicine includes both outpatient and inpatient practices. The outpatient practices care for patients who come to the clinic for appointments. Patients are seen in the International Practice, National Practice or Regional Practice based on where they currently reside. The inpatient practice (Hospital Medicine Practice) cares for patients in the hospital.
