Built between 1908 and 1910 to designs by Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl, the clinic forms part of the outer clinical block (Külső klinikai tömb) in Józsefváros, at Korányi Sándor utca 2/a. It opened as the 1st Department of Internal Medicine of Semmelweis University. On 1 January 2020 the university's independent Oncology Centre continued its work as the department's Oncology Profile.
Courses in internal medicine, including propedeutics, endocrinology, metabolic bone diseases, nephrology and gastroenterology, are taught in Hungarian, English and German. The department is one of Hungary's leading internal medicine research workshops, and its clinics sit in the outer clinical block of Józsefváros.
The clinic stands at Korányi Sándor utca 2/a in the outer clinical block of Józsefváros, Budapest District VIII, reachable by public transport from the city centre. It is a working hospital: care runs on 133 inpatient beds and 12 outpatient clinics, so access to wards and clinics is limited to patients and staff. Check in advance which units, if any, receive visitors.
Since 1 January 2020 the clinic has operated as the Internal Medicine and Oncology Clinic, with the university's former independent Oncology Centre continuing inside it as the so-called Oncology Profile rather than as a separate institution. The building stands at Korányi Sándor utca 2/a in Józsefváros.
