Internal Medicine

This is Heywood U. Cuddleme, DVM, Chief of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (ChIMP) at Zlatko University. At Zlatko University School of Medicine, we are front-runners in preventative medicine. You can’t find a temperature if you don’t look for one, you can’t find cancer if you don’t test for it. With this philosophy, we are helping our students save countless lives by preventing the diagnosis of horrific and deadly diseases. If patients have had the misfortune of having been diagnosed at other centers before coming to Zlatko, the Department of Internal Medicine ensures that our residents and students can handle any inpatient medical emergency or acute medical condition. From supervising the placement of feeding tubes at 3am to writing orders for Tylenol, our training in medicine gives you the confidence to observe anything. Our department prides itself on being the “go to” service when other services such as surgery are at a loss. You can’t cut out a diabetic emergency or bovie an anemia, our medicine residents understand this. Our training in Internal Medicine is some of the finest in the county.

At Zlatko University School of Medicine, we also appreciate the needs of the aging population. However, we do not wish to burden our students and residents with unnecessary knowledge that might extend the length of their education. The elderly are truly just aged adults, we teach our students to approach them in such a way.

Research plays a critical role in our treatment of patients. Should a patient be admitted, we prefer to enroll them in one of our generic medication approval drug studies. Many patients do not read what they sign and it is quite simple to add another medication to the list of what they will be receiving. This funding will help us build our new clinical building’s physician’s lounge.

Thanks, and on behalf of the Department of Internal Medicine, welcome to the Zlatko School of Medicine!
