MoreMedical Student Perspectives: The Benefits of Being Involved in an Internal Medicine Interest Group
Now that I am nearing the end of my second year, I can say in retrospect that the decision to participate in an IMIG has greatly benefited me professionally and personally. If you are a first- or second-year medical student, there are 3 primary reasons why I would recommend participating in the IMIG on your campus.

In honor of ACP's Centennial, My Kind of Medicine: IM Family is a new series of physician profiles featuring multi-generational internists. The stories will showcase how a tradition of caring and a passion for internal medicine are passed from one generation to the next.

MoreSubspecialty Careers: Sports Medicine
The discipline of sports medicine primarily concerns itself with the emergency assessment and care of acutely injured athletes, diagnosis, treatment and management of common sports injuries and illnesses, management of medical problems of the athlete, rehabilitation of ill and injured athletes, and exercise as treatment.
MoreIn the Clinic: Rotator Cuff Disease
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder and has a substantial negative effect on quality of life.
In the Clinic is a monthly feature in Annals of Internal Medicine that focuses on practical management of patients with common clinical conditions. It offers evidence-based answers to frequently asked questions about screening, prevention, diagnosis, therapy, and patient education and provides physicians with tools to improve the quality of care. Many internal medicine clerkship directors recommend this series of articles for students on the internal medicine ambulatory rotation.
