• Leverages the existing research infrastructure housed in DOPM and the excellence in education and clinical service found in GIM, to create an outstanding, integrated environment for academic generalists dedicated to a research career 

• Creates synergy and facilitates relationships across GIM and DOPM, providing increased opportunities for scholarship in research, education and service for current faculty in both divisions
