Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at NorthShore and Swedish Hospitals, a vital part of Endeavor Health.
We are awaiting accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), but anticipate welcoming our inaugural class in July 2025, continuing the rich tradition of graduate medical education at NorthShore and Swedish Hospitals. We are dedicated to training psychiatrists who excel in delivering compassionate, evidence-based, patient-centered care. Our program is designed to nurture residents' individual interests, equipping them for diverse career paths in specialties like child and adolescent psychiatry, neuromodulation, research, academia or community psychiatry.
Our residency program offers a comprehensive clinical experience in a university hospital environment. This setting ensures tailored faculty supervision and mentorship. Our academic strengths include an outstanding grand rounds program, a dynamic clinical research department, dedicated teaching faculty and a firm commitment to physician wellness. Program highlights feature cutting-edge neuromodulation services, consultation experiences and an enriching psychotherapy program. Additionally, our residents benefit from our strong affiliations, particularly with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, which enhances our education programs.
Our residents are active contributors to the field of psychiatry, regularly presenting at local and national conferences, publishing in respected academic journals and teaching medical students. They give back to the community by organizing an annual community mental health fair serving Cook and Lake Counties. We anticipate many of our residents pursuing prestigious fellowship opportunities, while others may choose to step directly into attending psychiatrist roles, fully prepared to lead and innovate in their practices.
Situated in Northern Chicago/Evanston/Highland Park, IL our hospitals are only minutes from the Lakefront and its famous beaches. The surrounding area offers a mix of urban or suburban living, rich with parks, restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Significant opportunities exist for both professional opportunities and personal enrichment in the Chicagoland area.
As the Residency Program Director, I am honored to lead this program. I invite you to apply and join us at Endeavor Health NorthShore Hospitals and Swedish Hospital, where your medical training will be as fulfilling as it is rigorous. I look forward to welcoming a new group of talented residents who are eager to advance their careers with us.
Be well!
