Letter from current Program Director, Adam Mikolajczyk Heading link
I first came to UIC in 2018 as a faculty member in Gastroenterology and Hepatology as a transplant hepatologist. I was initially drawn to the institution’s unwavering commitment to caring for underserved patient populations, strong prioritization of diversity, and rich tradition of innovation within the field of medical education. Each of these values remain very important to me, and being embraced by the IM residency family, which truly embodies the institution’s unparalleled collegiality and humility, will forever shape my career.
Over the next three years, we hope to achieve a fundraising goal of $75,000. Through your generosity, we plan to:
- Implement the goals of our DEI Council, Wellness Committee, Family-style journal clubs
- Expand research opportunities offered to our residents
- Continue to enhance our learning opportunities offered, including:
- Tropical Medicine elective
- Certificate-program for POCUS training
- Medical Spanish elective
- Public Advocacy elective
- Specialty Tracks
Please consider making a one-time or recurring gift.
Letter from previous Program Director, Fred Zar Heading link
I am proud to be a part of the University of Illinois Internal Medicine Residency family and leadership and to be able to keep in touch through this website and our newsletters with the over 1,000 physicians that entrusted UIC with their residency training during my Program Directorship. One of my most precious pleasures is seeing our graduates go on to do great things here at UIC and elsewhere throughout the world. Drs. Mikolajczyk and Polick have created a myriad of new initiatives that will maintain UIC as a top academic program for years and decades to come, many of which are listed as part of our three-year plan shown on this page. I thank you in advance for any financial contributions you chose to give back to the program and hope that you will enjoy receiving our newsletter that will keep you in touch with your roots here.
