The mission of the Institut Jules Bordet's Department of Internal Medicine is to assume responsibilitiy regarding:
- The oncological emergencies room
- The diagnosis and guidance unit.
- The infectious diseases clinic.
- Providing training in internal medicine for medical students and doctors training to be a specialist during the core years of internal medicine studies and higher training in internal medicine.
- Organising, with senior doctors from other specialities, the hospital's medical activity and support for undergraduate and postgraduate students
The Department of Internal Medicine offers expertise in the various fields of internal medicine while specialising in caring for patients suffering from oncological diseases:
- Oncological emergencies
- Infectious diseases
Every autumn the Department of Internal Medicine organizes an international meeting in French that is dedicated specifically to the severe complications that occur in patients suffering from a cancerous disease.
The department managers have developed two websites dedicated to cancer complications: www.oncorea.com for acute problems and www.pneumocancero.com for chronic problems (with particular focus on thoracic oncology).
The department has a continuous intake of medical students (Master's) and trainee specialists (internal medicine and sister disciplines) who follow training courses in internal medicine and in the department's more specific sectors. They are supported during seminars and specific tours.
In addition, the responsible doctors participate actively in the teaching of medical semiology, internal medicine clinical practice for the ULB's Master's in medicine, and the ULB's Master's specialising in internal medicine.
