A career in medicine is an opportunity to help people. It is an opportunity to be a student for the rest of your life. It is an opportunity to challenge your mind and body and learn just what it is you’re capable of. As you embark upon your career you will discover that the best compliment a doctor can receive is a patient’s gratitude, and there is certainly no shortage of that at Cook County Hospital.
Not only do our patients let us treat their physical ailments, many only read about in books, they also let us into their lives. Often we form mutually rewarding relationships with them in our continuity clinics. We have an enormous degree of autonomy in clinical practice and a County-trained physician is a confident and capable one. Our colleagues, with their diverse backgrounds and expertise, raise the intellectual bar so high that you cannot help but to be inspired to become better.
As physicians with a passion for not just public health, but the health of the public, we have all found our place here. It is for these reasons that we came and why we, and so many others, have chosen to stay at Cook County Hospital.
