Department BSD MED - General Internal Medicine - Chin Research Staff About the Department General Internal Medicine (GIM) has a rich tradition at the University of Chicago, dating back to the founding of the medical school in 1927. With the rising prominence of the medical subspecialties after World War II, the Department of Medicine reaffirmed its commitment to GIM in 1969: 'Every trainee must receive intensive, comprehensive training in General Medicine as an optimal base for advanced training, whether in a subspecialty or General Internal Medicine.' Under the leadership of Dr. Alvin Tarlov (Chair of Medicine, 1968-81), the University of Chicago led a national effort to reestablish academic sections of General Internal Medicine. In 1973, the Section of General Internal Medicine was organized to include separate GIM inpatient, outpatient, and consultation services. The Section of General Internal Medicine assumed responsibility for housestaff training and for relationships with community hospitals. A fellowship program was established for trainees interested in academic GIM and educational leadership. With the support from our Department Chairs since 1968 ,GIM research has flourished at the University of Chicago, with faculty recognized as national leaders in the areas of medical ethics, health economics and policy, health services and outcomes research. Job Summary Under limited direction the Project Manager will coordinate and oversee execution of research projects and perform complex research related duties and tasks regarding the evaluation of the California Safety-Net Population Health Management Initiative (PHMI).
