The Clinic Closure Process in the Department of Internal Medicine establishes a standardized, efficient, and transparent framework for managing clinic closures with a focus on maintaining a patient-first approach. This initiative is designed to minimize disruptions to patient care, and communicate any changes clearly to all stakeholders, including patients, faculty, and staff.

By implementing a clear, step-by-step procedure, the Clinic Closure Process ensures that closures are managed in a way that protects patient continuity of care, maintains staff morale as clear communication and a structured approach help reduce uncertainty, while the staff navigate the operational adjustments necessary during closures, and minimizes impact on operations.
