Learn the Art and Science of Medicine

A stimulating academic environment combined with practical, real-world experience.

  • Academic affiliation – A teaching hospital of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.
  • Integrated system – Part of a nationally recognized, multi-hospital healthcare system offering a rich mix of clinical experiences and career-building learning opportunities.
  • Diverse patient base – Serving a diverse patient population covering more than 50 zip codes in Northern Metropolitan Chicago and representing a broad ethnic, socioeconomic and demographic spectrum, including a large number of underserved patients.
  • Rigorous curriculum – Exceeding the established criteria for graduate medical education, and offering a full slate of learning opportunities, from conferences to morning reports to grand rounds. Categorical residents have a 96 percent ABIM Board pass rate and two-thirds go on to sub-specialties.
  • Dedicated teaching faculty – Renowned teaching faculty are full-time clinicians who take the time to teach and promote an active learning environment. That environment extends from the top down – Program Director Dr. Andy Anderson was recently honored as Outstanding Teacher of the Year by the Feinberg School’s 2009 class.
  • Cutting-edge research – Work side-by-side with noted faculty who are pioneering ground-breaking clinical research.
  • State-of-the-art simulators.  A lab features full-size human simulators for practicing “code-blue” scenarios such as seizures and respiratory failure and common scenarios such as gastrointestinal bleeding and anaphylaxis. Models are utilized to practice performing common procedures. A cardiac patient simulator recreates 26 cardiovascular conditions and more than 40 heart abnormalities.
  • Dedicated attendings – By combining teaching and patient management with both our hospitalists and our private attendings, we offer residents a rich learning environment that helps them become more well-rounded physicians and better prepares them for the real-life practice of medicine.
  • Collegial environment – An atmosphere of support, respect and camaraderie advances learning and growth. Residents feel free to ask questions and make recommendations. Attendings encourage discussion and take the time to teach.
