Thank you for your interest in the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Northwestern University. Our goal is to provide residents with outstanding clinical training, a comprehensive educational program, and opportunities to participate in research. During rotations at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Chicago VA, residents encounter and manage a broad spectrum of conditions.

It is an annual tradition for all second year Northwestern residents to receive a textbook from the Department to thank them for their hard work and dedication. Congratulations and thank you to the Class of 2014!

This year, all residents were given Braunwald's Heart Disease - A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, 9th Edition. Dr. Robert Bonow of the Division of Cardiology is the senior editor of this edition, and he personally inscribed each copy and presented it to each resident. Braunwald's Heart Disease is known as the premier cardiology textbook.

Fellowship Match Day was held in the beginning of December. Northwestern residents matched at highly competitive programs throughout the country.

While we appreciate the hard work of the residents in clinical care and research, we realize that a great deal of this success is the result of faculty mentorship. Thank you very much to all faculty mentors for all you do to support our residents’ academic pursuits, scholarly activity and career development.

Intern retreat is a time honored tradition at Northwestern and is an important time for class bonding.  Each year, program interns have a day off from clinical activities. The day includes a review of the potential stressors of intern year and strategies for dealing with them from recent program graduates. After the morning of reflection and goal setting, interns have the afternoon to themselves, including time for riding the ferris wheel at Navy Pier and playing miniature golf.
