The primary teaching sites for the Internal Medicine aspect of the training program are the UIC Medical Center and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. While on Emergency Medicine rotations, residents will rotate through UIC, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and Mercy Hospital and Medical Center. This affords residents the opportunity to experience the practice of internal and emergency medicine in very different environments, from a tertiary care academic center to community-based programs. The learning opportunities at these locations are supplemented with rotations at additional Chicago-area hospitals as described below.

Ambulatory Experience

 

All residents will have regular patients that they follow in the General Internal Medicine Continuity Clinic in the state-of-the-art Outpatient Care Center at the UIC Medical Center.

However, these patients will only be seen in clinic during those months while rotating on Internal Medicine. When one resident is rotating with Emergency Medicine, the other resident from the same class sees these clinic patients. All IM/EM Residents have clinic on Wednesday mornings. This clinic is precepted by General Internal Medicine faculty, including the IM/EM Program Director.
