With the collaborative effects of the past and current chairmen and colleagues, the Department of Internal Medicine at the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) has been leading the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, education system, and innovative researches in Taiwan. Inheriting their idealism, sense of mission, and endurance, we have created outstanding academia, and contributed significantly in the hospital's commitment in excellence. There are currently 157 attending physicians, 140 residents contributed to the clinical therapies, educations, and researches at the department. There are 10 subspecialty divisions in our department, namely, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, pulmonology, hematology and oncology, endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, general medicine and multidiciplinary medicine. Our extended medical education team includes all the attending physicians of the department, adjunct faculty from affiliated hospitals. Other than teaching our students with medical knowledge, clinical skills, professional attitude, humanism, and medical ethics, we pay special attentions to postgraduate general medicine and subspecialty training. Our goal is to train our medical students into well-rounded physicians.日本之建制，後來於1950年6月經傅斯年校長指示合併成為一個內科。同年8月即實施住院醫師制度。這是排棄日、德講座制度而採用美國醫學院與醫院制度之故。 當時，世界各國內科沒有細分專科。然內科學範圍很大，一位內科醫師不可能對所有內科病人做精密診療，蔡錫琴主任將內科分為各次專科，這是國內醫學次專科之先河，空前的創舉。各次專科的醫師不但學有專長且醫術精湛，深獲病人信賴，而且熱心教學及研究，為內科建立了良好的學術研究風氣，這是台大內科引以為傲的特色。 本科在研究及教學上屢有重大成就，回饋社會。例如：王德宏、王正一當選行政院傑出科技人才獎；謝博生、王榮德與楊泮池先後當選十大傑出青年；宋瑞樓、陳定信、楊泮池、陳培哲榮膺中央研究院院士，此乃學術界最崇高的地位。 在歷任主任的領導下，台大內科全體同仁孜孜不倦地辛勤工作，現在各部門包括門診、病房、特殊檢查及各專科研究室。門診部分包括一般門診、各專科特別門診；病房部分依照各專科性質分為專科病房與共同病房，另有加護病房、呼吸照護中心和血液透析室等。檢查部門包括內視鏡、心導管室、超音波室等。各專科研究室則負責學術研究及創新發展。由於各部門之共同努力，不但提供高品質及高水準的醫療服務，也同時做為醫學生和住院醫師教學及訓練最佳場所。 過去幾十年來內科在心臟血管病、肺癌、肝炎、消化道疾病、腎炎、高血壓、糖尿病等疾病的研究都有相當傑出的成果，我們希望在現有的基礎上，更進一步擴大研究範圍，提高研究水準，並將特別加強對於現在國內急待克服的疾病，如：心臟血管疾病、肝炎、癌症的研究，以具體的成果增進全體國民之建康。
