The Internal Medicine residency experience at ACMC is well-rounded and can be customized to align with your career goals. There are opportunities for research and QI projects, a strong base in imaging and procedures, and exposure to patients ranging from the outpatient setting to the ICU. 

I am staff at several hospitals in the northwest suburbs. My training at ACMC provided me with a strong foundation to approach the wide variety of patients we see in Endocrinology, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting.

I am in my Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine fellowship at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia
​
How did ACMC IM Residency prepare you for where you are in your career now? ​​
I felt very well prepared going into fellowship. The teaching at Christ was very good and had a lot of unique learning opportunities, especially for pulmonary and critical care. I felt like I gained a strong foundational knowledge in both fields coming out of residency. The ICU training allowed me to be very hands on when learning how to manage unstable and complicated patients. I also gained a lot of valuable procedural experience in both specialties (all sorts of lines, intubations, pleural procedures, and even bronchoscopy). I was a chief resident at Christ, which has helped me become much more well rounded as a physician and a leader.
