The University of Washington Department of Medicine has initiated a search for a Director to lead its Internal Medicine Residency Program.  Our mission is to train future leaders in medicine by cultivating a supportive, diverse, and inspirational learning environment to prepare residents to be academic leaders and outstanding clinicians.  The 174 medicine residents and 13 chief residents in our program train at over 20 medical centers, affiliates, and clinics, including the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System.  Our residents also have a unique opportunity to train with general internists in small communities in Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.

The Department of Medicine is the largest department in the School of Medicine with over 4500 staff, faculty, trainees and students and an annual budget of approximately $500,000,000 consisting of patient care revenue, sponsored research funds, endowments and gifts, state funds and affiliated hospital funding associated with the academic programs within the department.
