A Message from the Program Director
We train the doctors you want to send your loved ones to. We do so by fostering holistic development in a responsive training environment. Our diverse, high-acuity patients give you the experience and the responsibility to become the physician people trust most. I am proud to introduce you to a program rooted in clinical excellence, compassionate care, and a deep commitment to your growth.
Our 802-bed medical center has ~750,000 emergency visits a year and is located 30 minutes from the South Loop of Chicago. We serve a diverse patient population and see significant pathology which features a high trauma volume, transplants, and complex cardiology.
At ACMC, we believe that residency is a transformative period of your training. Our residents are immersed in a diverse and dynamic clinical environment, supported by a faculty dedicated to mentorship, innovation, and advocacy. We celebrate the unique backgrounds and perspectives our residents bring, and we are intentional in fostering a culture of inclusion, psychological safety, and continuous learning.
Our program is part of one of the largest health care providers in the nation: Advocate Health. Here, you will benefit from the academic enterprise of Wake Forrest University School of Medicine, teammate benefits, research resources, 5.4 million patient records, and all the resources that come with being part of a large, connected health system.
Residents at ACMC are not only trained to meet today’s challenges but are also equipped to shape the future of medicine. Whether you are exploring our program for the first time or returning for another look, I invite you to learn more about what makes ACMC a special place to train or visit our Instagram to get a feel for who we are and what it's like to train with us.
Warm Regards,

From the desk of the ChairmanOur Residency Training Program is an integral part of our Department of Medicine as well as our Medical Center. It brings me great joy to see enthusiastic faces every year, eager to become top physicians. Our training program is a capstone to their education that enables them to achieve their lifelong dream.
Our teaching faculty is friendly and energetic. Our medical center is constantly growing and remains a top performing hospital year after year. The diversity of our patients is incredible, with many transfers from other hospitals coming to us on a daily basis due to our expertise in treating many different conditions. I take great pride in being part of this medical center for over 20 years, and as Chairman, I wholeheartedly support the Residency Training Program so it will continue to succeed year after year. I have no doubt that our residents are well prepared for an ever-changing healthcare environment and will succeed in their ambitions. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our medical family. |
