Thank you for your interest in the Cook County Health & Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Public Health & General Preventive Medicine Residency Program. As a graduate of this program myself, I know firsthand how transformative these two years can be. With a curriculum designed around your unique interests and goals, this training will prepare you to make a meaningful impact in the communities and systems you serve.
Our mission is rooted in advancing health equity. At Cook County Health, we provide care to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, and our health department serves a diverse county of 2.3 million residents. Here, you’ll have valuable opportunities to examine the structural and social determinants of health and work toward systems change that promotes health equity.
One of the hallmarks of our program is how intentionally we tailor each resident’s curriculum. With only two trainees per year, we are able to work closely with you to design a training plan that reflects your interests, career goals, and learning needs. Our faculty are deeply committed to your growth, and a number of program graduates among them offer mentorship shaped by both personal experience and professional expertise.
If you are looking for a program where you will be challenged, supported, and inspired to use your skills to improve health at the population level, I invite you to learn more about us. We look forward to meeting the next generation of public health and preventive medicine leaders.
