Each year we invite recent Internal Medicine graduates to join our team as Chief Residents of the MacNeal Internal Medicine and Transitional Year Residency Programs. This one-year position at MacNeal provides outstanding opportunities for recent residency graduates to further develop their teaching and leadership skills while building on clinical experience as an attending physician. Over the years, our Chief Residents have matched into competitive fellowships, gone into hospital medicine and primary care, pursued careers in academic medicine, and progressed to positions such as Program Director and Assistant Program Director.

Loyola MacNeal Hospital is a 374-bed hospital with three residency programs (Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Transitional Year). It is located in Berwyn, which is about a 20-minute drive west of the Chicago Loop.

The Chief Residents will be responsible for the forty-two Internal Medicine (IM) residents and the fourteen Transitional Year (TY) residents.
