"As someone not originally from the Midwest, Family Medicine Midwest was the best and easiest way to gain exposure to all of the different programs in Illinois. I feel like the Midwest is a family medicine powerhouse. Seeing not just in Chicagoland but extending to the entire region, just how many programs offer such different kind of avenues for training in family medicine and attributes that they offer. So to learn about all of those different programs in one space was super invaluable."

"My tip is to talk to the residents because I talked to both of the residents that were present from Rush Esperanza to get the itty bitty details of how their culture is. What do they have to offer? It's just a great way to know what will suit your goals for your career. It's a great stepping stone to learn what's out there and what's available."
