Department of Internal Medicine
John Hoidal, MD
Department Chair
"Internal Medicine is a specialty that deals with the entire patient, rather than a particular organ system, and covers diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in adults."
The Department of Internal Medicine is the single largest department on the University of Utah campus, and has 14 subspecialty divisions.
We have a group of extremely talented physicians who provide the highest standard of care for patients at University Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Hospital, IMC Hospital, the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center, and numerous community clinics throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Our education programs are nationally recognized for excellence. And, despite our small size relative to other institutions, we have one of the top research departments in the United States, with numerous multi-year awards keeping our programs vibrant.
