  The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean field description of
non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $\sigma$,
$\omega$ and $\rho$ mesons, is extended to investigate the properties of finite
nuclei. Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to describe the interacting
quark-meson system, we derive the effective equation of motion for the nucleon,
as well as the self-consistent equations for the meson mean fields. The model
is first applied to nuclear matter, after which we show some initial results
for finite nuclei.
