Patient Care
The
Department of Medicine has five affiliated teaching hospitals with medicine
services that admit and care for patients. Memorial Hermann Hospital,
a hospital with public and private patients, has an average census of
140 patients on general medicine, subspecialty, cardiology, and intensive
care unit teams. Lyndon Baines Johnson General Hospital, a county hospital
for public patients, averages 110 inpatients on general medicine and intensive
care unit teams. These are the two major teaching hospitals and these
also have busy emergency and trauma centers where medicine house officers
see patients. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, one of the foremost centers
for cancer care in the country, has approximately 35 patients on the teaching
service with additional ambulatory and consult rotations. Consultation
services see patients at all three of these facilities. Ambulatory clinics
operate at these hospitals as well, in addition to other clinic facilities.
The other two inpatient facilities have private patients primarily and
patient care is supervised by community based physicians. St. Luke's Episcopal
Hospital-Texas Heart Institute has approximately 50 patients on general
medicine and cardiology teams followed by medicine house staff, fellows
and students. St. Joseph Hospital has about 40 inpatients on the teaching
service, an intensive care unit team and some subspecialty electives.
The clinical faculty in the Department of Internal
Medicine are members of University Care Plus (UCP). For information on
