Who We Are
The Department of Specialty Medicine (DSM), established in 1990, consists of D.O. and M.D. physicians and Ph.D. researchers in different specialty areas such as cardiology, diabetology, emergency medicine, endocrinology, internal medicine, lifestyle medicine, nephrology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, radiology and surgery. In Fall 2022, faculty from the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology joined, adding expertise in their respective fields. As educators, DSM faculty members provide classroom instruction and clinical contact experiences for Year I and II students, clinical precepting for Year III and IV students, and rotations with interns and residents. In addition, DSM faculty serve the community by providing medical services and conducting medical research.
