Dr. Alex Kobzik
Dr. Kobzik is currently in his second year of the Critical Care Medicine fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is planning on moonlighting in both the ICU and Emergency Department this year, and is currently looking for an Intensivist position primarily going forward. His dual training has not only prepared him excellently for training in Critical Care, but it has already caught the attention of multiple potential employers as his job search is beginning. The IM/EM training has been invaluable not only procedurally and for breadth of knowledge, but also to provide a unique perspective on throughput, relationship building and communication.
Dr. Jeremy Smiley
After residency, Dr. Smiley joined NorthShore University Health System, working primarily in the Emergency Department and also moonlight as a hospitalist. For the past two years, he was a teaching attending on the medical wards service. This past year Dr. Smiley has taken on an administrative role as a physician advisor where he now spend one quarter of his time. The dual training helped him take on more administrative responsibilities, fostered educational opportunities with residents and medical students, and most importantly allowed him to take outstanding care of patients.
Dr. George Hughes
Dr. George Hughes graduated from UIC IM/EM residency in 2017 and started as as a Assistant Professor at Emory University in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Recently he became the Director of Observation Medicine at Emory University Hospital moving into an administrative role within the department. The dual training definitely opened up the door to this job much earlier then a strict EM or IM residency program would have allowed. He believes that we gain a lot of practice in leadership, conflict resolution, and hospital throughput that shorter programs do not get and it makes us highly desirable and strong physicians.
