Welcome From the Program Director
这 库克县卫生局 & Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine – Public Health & Preventive Medicine Program 在 小约翰·H·斯特罗格医院 库克县 is committed to training 初级卫生保健 and/or public health–oriented physicians in the principles and practices of population-based health care and in the care of underserved populations.
The two-year, ACGME–accredited residency has concurrent academic and practicum phases.
The program is focused on preparing physicians with skills to improve the organization and delivery of preventive and chronic care services in a population framework, with a focus on strategies to reduce health disparities. The educational goal of the program is anchored by an ethic of service, recognition of the dignity of our patients, respect for human diversity, and commitment to human rights.
Our trainees benefit from a diverse training experience created through collaboration and partnerships between Stroger Hospital and Northwestern Medicine (the aligned academic medical center formed by the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (NU-FSM) and Northwestern Medicine), other academic institutions on Chicago’s west side Medical Center campus, and with public health agencies in the Chicago metropolitan area.
