The standing goals of the Department of Internal Medicine remain to be in line with those of our Institute and the Philippine College of Physicians. It aims to pursue excellence in developing and establishing the highest level of service, training and research. In accordance with the institute’s objective of providing specialized medical service, the department continually strives to strengthen the different subspecialties through the implementation of specialty-development programs, that are directed at establishing a core staff for each section.

The department provided the services of specialty sections including Infectious Disease, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Neurology, Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation, Endocrinology, Dermatology, Rheumatology, Allergology, Oncology, Rehabilitation Medicine and Nuclear Medicine. The Internal Medicine staff also delivered medical support to other departments through the interdepartmental consultation requests or referrals received.
