Welcome to our Emergency Medicine Residency Program! It is my privilege to introduce you to a program that is more than just a place to train-it is a home and community where you will grow as a person, clinician, leader, and advocate for your patients and colleagues alike. Our residency is based in a historic, academic, urban safety net hospital at the heart of Chicago. Here, you will be immersed in a rich and diverse environment, caring for patients who reflect the full spectrum of humanity. This setting provides unparalleled opportunities to learn, innovate, and make a lasting impact. To put it simply, this is a program and place where I would choose to train in a heartbeat! As your Program Director, I want you to know I care about YOU- you as a person, and you as a physician.
As a visionary in emergency medicine and medical education, I’m thrilled to bring my entrepreneurial spirit to this residency program at Insight Chicago, located in one of the city’s most historic hospitals. I bring a passion for building not only a residency program but also the future of Emergency Medicine. My approach combines traditional, high-expectation teaching methods with a progressive emphasis on wellness, resilience, and individuality. I believe excellence is achieved through clarity, structure, and hard work, but also through creativity, compassion, and prioritizing your health, your patients, and each other.
Our program is designed to challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you for the complexities of emergency care. You will be supported by a phenomenal team of faculty and staff in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Graduate Medical Education.

Insight Chicago believes that diversity in employment, education, and the provision of healthcare is the key to positively impacting healthcare and education at large. The EM program faculty and residents are encouraged to be part of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion series, in an effort to foster the recruitment, retention, and promotion of underrepresented groups in medicine including persons of color, LGBTQIA, individuals facing hardship, and other disadvantaged groups. This series targets a multi-pronged approach:
Program diversity is crucial to training Emergency Medicine physicians, and it is imperative to healthcare in general. The IHMCC Emergency Department is comprised of a diverse body of faculty representing the spectrum of gender, ethnicity, age, religion, expertise, and background.
IHMCC supports diversity in the hope of encouraging physician satisfaction and wellbeing. The Medical Executive Committee at IHMCC has formed a Physician Diversity and Well-being Committee tasked with the goal of establishing Continuing Medical Education (CME) on recognizing the importance of diversity and wellness. In addition, the Medical Staff hosts programs on professionalism, recognition of our biases and will participate in Physician feedback symposiums. These programs provide the medical staff with tools for self-reflection and to how their colleagues perceive circumstances and situations differently.
