To these ends, the Residency Training Program in Internal Medicine and Primary Care Internal Medicine operates with three basic goals in mind. By this we consider the local community in which we serve, the community at large in New York City and it's boroughs, the academic community of scientists with whom we collaborate, and the community of students and trainees who depend on us for quality training in health care. Mission Statement "Training the next generation of leaders in medical care" The Mission Statement of the Department of Medicine is in line with the hospital's overall mission.
