The position is attached to the Service de médecine interne générale of the Département de la médecine. Internal medicine is a specialty centered, as its name suggests, towards the interior of the body and organs. The mother discipline has given birth, over the last three decades, to multiple disciplines, which have become full-fledged specialties for several years and have obtained the same status as internal medicine itself. The specialist who brings the latest knowledge of their specialty to patients and to university centers is capable of developing sophisticated research programs, either clinical or laboratory, which will allow the integration of this knowledge into practice through translational medicine. The service de médecine interne générale ensures the care of hospitalized patients presenting a problem or condition related to internal medicine, in collaboration with the medical specialty services of the department.
