The rotations follow a “4 + 2” schedule format. Residents will rotate in a four-week inpatient block followed by two weeks of outpatient ambulatory medicine. This will allow residents to learn outpatient and inpatient medicine without conflicting responsibilities. Rotations in the two-week blocks include addiction medicine, women’s health and the Internal Medicine Continuity Clinic. Residents will also have dedicated didactic time Wednesday mornings during their Medtalks session and dedicated time for administrative work. R1:The intern year at the MacNeal Internal Medicine Residency Program focuses on developing skills in general internal medicine. There are rotations in the ICU and emergency room to develop patient care skills in critical and emergent settings, and a broad introduction to general internal medicine in the ambulatory setting. The interns will also have a special rotation – practice management. The goal of the rotation is to provide an overview of the US healthcare system. There will be individual teaching sessions to discuss payment models, billing requirements and medical documentation. The overall goal for the intern year is to attain patient care skills, develop interpersonal communication skills, build one’s foundation of knowledge to support medical decision-making and learn medical documentation skills. R2:During the second year, residents transition to being leaders of the internal medicine team. Residents learn to be independent in critical thinking and medical decision-making. Second-year residents independently lead an internal medicine service team under the supervision of faculty and work alongside a co-senior resident and an ICU hospitalist managing the intensive care unit. Residents also cross cover and admit patients during their night float rotations. Residents may choose to do an elective rotation this year, which includes a rotation at Loyola University Medical Center or a research month at MacNeal Hospital. R3:The third-year resident has more rotations in inpatient subspecialty rotations. This year enhances the resident's clinical knowledge in subspecialties to prepare for the ABIM board exam and continue developing skills to be a well-rounded general internist. At the end of the R3 year, residents are well balanced and confident in both inpatient and outpatient management of general internal medicine patients, and are well-prepared to take the board exam.
