- Society of General Internal Medicine
Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) is an American professional society composed of physicians engaged in internal medicine research and teaching. Originally named The Society for Research and Education in Primary Care Internal Medicine (SREPCIM), at its inaugural meeting in 1978. Startup funding for SREPCIM was provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded to the American College of Physicians. In 1988, SREPCIM became the Society of General Internal Medicine. By 2006, SGIM had over 2800 members.
SGIM publishes the "Journal of General Internal Medicine". It also produces the "Core Medicine Clerkship Curriculum Guide", with a Faculty Manual and Pocket Guide for Students.
Its goals are to support its members, foster innovation and creativity in clinical care, teaching and research, and increase its impact and others' awareness of SGIM.
