About Us

Our Mission

TeachIM.org is a free and public online platform dedicated to enhancing the quality of internal medicine resident education. We provide ready-to-go teaching materials for residents and attendings to use or adapt as desired for team-room chalk talks, conference presentations, image-based cases, and workshops for procedures or point-of-care ultrasound. Our content is developed through a multi-tiered editorial and peer-reviewed process designed to help contributing authors develop educational skills and scholarship while ensuring a consistent structure and quality of our materials.
