Department of the Internal Medicine, Medical faculty

There is no English equivalent to "факультетская терапия" I am afraid. And I see no sense in inventing any new terms, like "Entry Level, Intermesiate Level", etc. Just one of IM Departments.

Chair for Intermediate Course of Internal Medicine at the Medical Faculty/School

There is no English equivalent due to the different systems of education - the same story as with academic degrees.
The course of internal medicine in a number of exUSSR countries is divided into three stages: primary (provided by кафедра пропедевтики внутренних болезней), intermediate (provided by кафедра факультетской терапии), and advanced (provided by кафедра госпитальной терапии). And it is generally the same with the course of surgery.
To make it clear to an English-speaking reader, the names of the chairs may be translated according to these stages.
