Message from the Program Director

It is my great pleasure to introduce you to our Internal Medicine Residency Program, one of the finest in the country for those that place a high value on advocacy for underserved patient populations and a well-rounded education.  The excitement of bringing physicians to their fullest potential continues to motivate our leadership team every day.  We strongly feel that our diverse patient population, the family atmosphere of our program, and the autonomy that the residents have is a perfect environment to train the next generation of physicians.

Training Programs

Besides our Categorical and Preliminary Medicine programs, we offer combined Internal Medicine residencies in Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics.

The combined five-year residency in Internal Medicine/Emergency Medicine is designed for those trainees who wish to complement the breadth of skills in Emergency Medicine with the depth of Internal Medicine. Rotating between Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine, residents satisfy board requirements for certification in both specialties.

The Academic Internal Medicine (AIM) Residency Track provides additional academic training to internal medicine residents who have an interest in conducting clinical research as generalists. The AIM Track is an opportunity for residents to receive training in public health and clinical and translational research, and actively participate in scholarly activities under the mentorship of Department of Medicine faculty.

The Urban and Global Health (UGH) Track is geared towards residents who are interested in the care of underserved communities both in urban and global settings. This track provides the trainee with the focused experiences in underserved communities both locally and abroad, as well as the tools necessary to undergo a career in the field.

The University of Illinois Chicago is committed to an environment that fosters the development of future physician-scientists.
