UIC IM Chiefcast UIC Internal Medicine Chiefs

In this episode, we start our first of a series of interviews called Cold ones. Alan interviews Jay for our first cold one. Join us as we discuss his trajectory, future plans, and other insights from residency. Jay talks about his experience volunteering at the Student Run Free Clinic. This is a great opportunity for residents to teach students while also helping patients without insurance. It was one of my favorite things to do in residency and fellowship. Alan and Jay also discuss research, food, and of course, UIC beverages. Do you like the red juice or the UIH white claw?

In this episode of the Chiefcast, we interview our new program leadership: Adam Mikolajczyk and Anne Polick. Join us as we discuss their careers, new roles, and the future of the program.
