The Department of Internal Medicine offers general medicine and primary care. It is one of the premier departments of AIMS, bringing together an elite cadre of clinicians, investigators and educators. Working in concert with colleagues in subspecialties at AIMS, the first priority is to provide patients with the highest level of primary care possible.

The department is supported by the latest diagnostic facilities that include Microbiology, Serology, Pathology, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. The presence of all the major subspecialties at AIMS enables the department to provide comprehensive care to a patient with multiple problems without fragmentation of care and with the ability to optimise medical treatment, thus improving quality of life.

The Department is embedded in a remarkable basic science environment at the Health Sciences Campus, Kochi with a collaborative culture that affords numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary and translational research.
