Welcome to UIC MedPeds!

For over 30 years we have been training outstanding individuals, who seek to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Our residents have the opportunity to care for medically vulnerable patients living in predominantly under-resourced settings, who frequently face medical, social, mental health, and economic challenges in both the outpatient and inpatient settings at the University of Illinois Hospital, Children’s Hospital University of Illinois, and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. The depth of training and range of experience has allowed our residents to pursue a variety of careers paths, including primary care, fellowship training, hospitalist medicine, academic medicine, research, global health, and public health. While education and clinical training in primary and subspecialty care is our foremost priority, we support and strongly encourage our trainees to work and collaborate on scholarly projects and pursue their individual interests.

We have a dedicated and growing group of MedPeds faculty, who along with our categorical Pediatric and Internal Medicine attendings seek to provide excellent patient care and are vested in educating the next generation of physicians. However, the best part of our program remains our hard-working, fun, and ambitious resident trainees. Our mission is to support and encourage our residents to achieve their personal and professional potential.

We wish you the best during this application process and look forward to meeting with you!
