The Department of Medicine at Northwestern has a large and diverse faculty. More than 350 faculty members participate each year in the teaching mission of the Department. Residents interact with faculty members on the clinical services and choose individual faculty members to serve as career and research mentors. Due to the depth of knowledge and expertise available in all of the subspecialties, many of our residents have enjoyed a close working relationship with a subspecialty mentor during their training. Traditionally, faculty members at Northwestern have enjoyed the opportunity to serve as advisors and are enthusiastic about this opportunity. Another mentoring opportunity occurs in the second residency year in which each resident is paired with a faculty mentor to prepare a talk regarding a clinical or research question. This lecture is presented to the Department as part of the noon conference series.  Many Departmental faculty serve as Editors of textbooks and Journals. Selected examples are:
