The Internal Medicine Interest Group is a student run organization that focuses on community outreach and student education. The IMIG is under the guidance of a faculty advisor, holds informational meetings on key health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease and immunizations. Students will also develop a basic understanding of medical subspecialties and have the opportunity to meet area specialists. The IMIG also hosts simulation labs at the MASTRI Center where students can practice things such as: lumbar punctures, central line placements, taking blood, and much more! Members of IMIG are provided opportunities to work with physicians or community organizations in these fields to assist in providing health care to target populations. In the past, the IMIG has measured blood pressure in the community and helped underprivileged Baltimore residents find health care. The IMIG welcomes all interested students and faculty to participate.
