• On Being a Doctor
Few professions are as inherently dramatic as medicine. It is no surprise, then, that many physicians have recorded their experiences through essays, stories, and poems especially for an audience of their peers.

• GIMSPP
The General Internal Medicine Statewide Preceptorship Program (GIMSPP) is a mentorship program that gives medical students an opportunity to spend time with an internist practicing in a community based hospital or clinic.
