General Internal Medicine (GIM) is the largest division in the Department of Medicine attached to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Stellenbosch 肆客足球 and Tygerberg Hospital.
Clinical Services? and Social Impact
The clinical service activities are divided into emergency admissions, in-patient care including high care and out-patient services. There are 164 inpatient beds in the division's medical wards. The division is organized into 5 inpatient firms, an Emergency Admissions team, and an Adult Medical High Care Unit. The Division also runs a Medical Outpatient Clinic 4 times per week.
Tygerberg Hospital provides regional and tertiary care to half of the greater Cape Metropole and tertiary care to the adjacent rural districts of the West Coast/Cape Winelands and Boland/Overberg.
We have an active clinical out-reach program to Khayelitsha Hospital, Helderberg Hospital and Karl Bremer Hospital. The out-reach activity includes consultant ward rounds, student and medical officer training and strategic support.

The division also accommodates the largest number of postgraduate students (registrars) as part of the MMed Internal Medicine degree and the Colleges of Medicine FCP training program.
