Internal Medicine Residency
Welcome
The SIU Department of Internal Medicine continues to strive to meet the needs of our current and future learners. We take pride not only in our focus on educational innovations and developing excellent physicians but also in our attention to resident wellness and the development of future leaders in medicine.
Our objective is to graduate residents who are unrestricted and competitive in their future career choices. This includes preparing our residents for a variety of settings, such as private practice or academia, and disciplines ranging from general medicine to numerous subspecialties. We aim to embrace SIU School of Medicine's mission to produce physicians who can improve healthcare in downstate Illinois.
The department's fellowship offerings have significantly increased over the last 10 years. We now have a full complement of fellows in our programs in gastroenterology, cardiology, endocrinology, hematology/oncology, infectious disease, and pulmonary and critical care medicine.

General program information
A career in internal medicine opens up an exciting, intellectual challenge that will stimulate you to both learn the science and master the art of medicine. Some of the most challenging adult patients require the depth and breadth of the internist’s care. A career in internal medicine will never bore you!
Tracks
SIU Preliminary Medicine Residency will prepare you for advanced standing programs. Rotation experiences and expectations are identical to categorical residents, including unique opportunities during Y week specific to the needs of the advanced standing program. Our Preliminary Medicine residents have fewer hospitalist weeks and more elective time relative to categorical track residents. As a 3 + 1 program the academic year consists of 13 X rotations and 13 Y weeks.
