The Department for Medicine at Inova Fairfax Hospital has a long tradition of dedication to Graduate Medical Education throughout the region. Currently, house-staff from Georgetown University Hospital, George Washington University Hospital, Virginia Commonwealth University and the National Capital Consortium rotate on our internal medicine wards and the CCU and ICU. There is an established academic infrastructure consisting of teaching rounds, morning report, noon conference, morbidity and mortality conference, Medical Grand Rounds, Chief of Service rounds and physical diagnosis rounds for our trainees. The program is supported by two Chief Medical Residents and a dedicated group of staff and community physicians who are a balance of General Internists and Medical Specialists.
