Any thoughts about the IM program? Teaching? Fellowships? How nice of a hospital is it? Is it mostly IMG? How busy is it? Any info would be appreciated🙂

Lutheran has a good reputation as a community-based teaching program, at least in the Chicago area. They have a solid history of fellowship placement at Chicago academic institutions, especially Rush & Loyola. Dually accredited, so lots of DOs and MDs. Not sure about FMGs. I've heard that the facilities are very nice. Their residents tends to be happy from what I understand.

Did most of my med school rotations there, know most of the residents. People are typically pretty happy, it's a well-balanced program but not what I'd characterize as "cush." It's a solid community program. They're trying very hard to build up their research profile and they have a new primary relationship with Rosalind Franklin as well. Mostly MDs and DOs, although there are foreign grads in the mix as well. I loved being a medical student there. They're very supportive of their housestaff.
It's quite a bit different from what I perceived most residency programs to be like on interviews. There are two hospitalist groups that are private, but most of the patients are covered by internists working across the street at the outpatient facility. They have little sub-groups and one person for each subgroup covers hospital patients for the week. If you're interested in outpatient medicine at all, it's a great place to be. Really strong clinic with great attending supervision. If you have other questions, feel free to PM me.
