Loyola Medicine MacNeal Hospital Program

The Loyola Medicine MacNeal Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program, located in Berwyn, IL, offers an enriching and diverse training environment. With forty-two residents from eleven nations, the program prides itself on its cultural diversity and commitment to developing young physicians in the art and practice of Internal Medicine. The program's vision is to enhance clinical reasoning skills, medical knowledge, and leadership in healthcare quality improvement. Residents train in a variety of settings, from inpatient rotations to community service activities, benefiting from a community hospital's rich clinical learning environment.

The curriculum is designed with a 4+2 structure, alternating between four-week inpatient rotations and two-week outpatient experiences. This format supports education and wellness, ensuring comprehensive learning and patient care exposure, supplemented by MedTalks and noon conferences covering various subspecialties. Residents also have opportunities for involvement in program and hospital committees and can pursue elective interests in research, education, and hospital management, with electives available at both MacNeal Hospital and Loyola Medical Center.

A key feature of the program is its emphasis on mentorship and fostering a positive learning environment. Residents receive guidance from faculty advisors regarding professional goals and progress, and the program organizes annual retreats and social outings to promote well-being.

The program encourages applications from a diverse range of candidates and supports J1 Visa applicants, but it does not specify detailed application requirements such as graduation year or USMLE scores on its website. It emphasizes that all positions are filled through the NRMP match and does not support post-interview communication or second visits to maintain fairness in the selection process.

Residents in this program can expect a well-rounded training experience with ample support for professional growth, all within a supportive community environment.
