Student Osteopathic Internal Medicine Association
Student Organizations Dublin
Our Mission
The mission of the Internal Medicine (IM) Club is to provide information and education to its members on the large and diverse fields of internal medicine. Branches of internal medicine include Allergy and Immunology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, General Internal Medicine, Hepatology, Hematology, Hospitalist, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Oncology, Pulmonary, and Rheumatology. We also hope to strengthen interest in the field of IM by increasing exposure. Throughout the year, we will bring in clinicians and other lecturers to speak on internal medicine and provide case studies, participate in skills workshops including ultrasound, and provide opportunities to interact with residents and internal medicine faculty.

Services Provided
We will be facilitating philanthropic events in the community in line with volunteering at local free clinics, developing a care pipeline with the homeless community and area physicians, and various other volunteer activities based on club member interests. We are currently looking for events to better the community around the college. Our group in the past has worked with the MidOhio Food Bank and the Dublin ACT Coalition. Finally, we want to develop relationships with area physicians that will prepare OUHCOM students to provide high-quality care in the Central Ohio community.
