Combined Internal Medicine & Pediatrics Residency


About the Loyola Medicine Med-Peds Residency

With its first graduating class beginning their training in 1982, the Combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency Program has been growing its roots at Loyola for over 40 years.

Loyola has a strong Med-Peds presence. The Loyola Med-Peds family includes over twenty full-time Med-Peds trained faculty working in outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, and medical education. Med-Peds-trained faculty serve as directors of Inpatient Pediatrics, Pediatric Critical Care, Institutional Quality and Safety, the Internal Medicine Clerkship, and the Office of Graduate Medical Education. Even the current Chief Medical Officer is a Med-Peds physician! We benefit from an outstanding working relationship between our core programs and their corresponding departments. Transitions of care are uniquely facilitated at our institution because of the inter-departmental relationships and impact of the Med-Peds community.

The educational philosophies of the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics are similar. Both adult and pediatric patients are admitted to resident-run services. Patient-centered teaching rounds occur daily with your attending. Daily rounds contain elements of both didactic teaching and bedside learning. Resident patients are not managed by private attendings at Loyola. Our residents are continuously involved in medical student education and have access to multiple teaching opportunities in the Stritch School of Medicine.

Both departments have a strong commitment to inpatient and outpatient training and providing high-quality, evidence-based care to a diverse patient population. Your time at Loyola will include everything from caring for extreme premies in a level III NICU to assisting with transitions of care in your clinic to managing LVADs in the CCU. You will rotate from seeing subspecialty patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings to working in a level I Emergency Department. You will provide care to our veterans at Hines VA Hospital, the largest tertiary care VA hospital in the region. We strive to provide you with a training curriculum characterized by the breadth and depth of its experiences.

Loyola Med-Peds residents are held in high regard at our institution and become leaders in the medical community. We have an exceptional rate of Med-Peds resident selection as categorical Chief Residents. Our graduates consistently attain success above national averages on board certifications. We will help you become an outstanding Internist and Pediatrician.
