Chief Resident Welcome

Welcome!

We are happy to have your interest in our residency program!

The residency through Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin is a midsized program with a wide variety of outpatient and inpatient experiences. One of our greatest strengths is the close relationship between coresidents as well as attendings.

Residents join our program from all backgrounds and experiences. We have had residents join straight from medical school, during a midlife career change, and from overseas. Many often bring their experiences to make our understanding of patients richer.  

Through 4 years here, we serve many different communities ranging from the city of Chicago to near the Illinois-Wisconsin border. This gives us the opportunity to work in a diverse set of systems which can help us decide which practice opportunities are the right fit for life after training. In the 3rd and 4th years we can also narrow down our preferred sites in preparation for transitioning out of residency. Our program also offers the opportunity to fast track or moonlight. 

Each year we also have many residents match into their top choices of fellowship. Recently we’ve had graduates go to prestigious programs such as Yale, Northwestern, and Loyola. 

We look forward to meeting you and know that your time here will offer the chance to grow into the psychiatrist you hope to be. Our encouraging faculty and supportive relationships provide a rich environment to learn in. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
