Oberarzt Innere Medizin

About the department

In our internal medicine unit, care is organized as a truly collaborative specialty rather than isolated subspecialty work. The team shares expertise, supports one another, and keeps the patient at the center of every decision. By combining our knowledge, we aim to deliver the best possible treatment.

Cooperation with nursing staff and functional teams is an important part of daily work, and their initiative and professional development are actively encouraged. The role is suited to someone who wants to practice broad internal medicine rather than work only in a narrow niche.

Led by Chief Physician Dr. Markus Ewald, the department works closely with all major and affiliated departments of the hospital as well as with connected specialist centers in invasive cardiology, nephrology, and gastroenterology. There is also close cooperation with the University Hospital Würzburg in hematology-oncology and with the oncology MVZ in Schweinfurt. The department is a member of CCC Mainfranken.
