Emily Adochio, MD | Hometown: Naperville, IL Medical School: Rush Medical College Residency: Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals Why I Chose Rush/CCH for Fellowship: I️ chose Rush because of their commitment to health equity and their work with underserved communities. Rush’s relationship with Cook County allows for fellows to work with a diverse patient population, including those that are traditionally marginalized. They also have connections with the CORE Center, and since I️ am interested in HIV, this was a big positive for me. I️ also liked the Career Development Pathway Program which allows fellows to explore many different interests in ID. Lastly, I️ went to Rush for medical school so I️ know that everyone is very nice and approachable! |

Malika Gill, MD | Hometown: Mesa, Arizona Medical School: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland School of Medicine Residency: University of Pennsylvania Why I Chose Rush/CCH for Fellowship: I chose Rush/CCH ID for fellowship because I wanted to train in a city where I was exposed to the diverse patient population that makes the subject of ID uniquely interesting. I felt this program would provide me with strong clinical experience I could take forward in pursuit of my interests of both global health and transplant ID. I also felt the collegiality between the ID fellows and attendings was unmatched and cultivated a supportive learning environment. |

Ana Istrate, MD | Hometown: I really consider my hometowns to be both Deerfield, Illinois, where I spent most of my childhood, and Constanța, Romania, where I spent the first few years of my life. Medical School: Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Residency: Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals, Inc. Why I Chose Rush/CCH for Fellowship: I chose Rush primarily for the sincerity and enthusiasm I noticed on my interview day, but also for the diversity of experience offered by two neighboring hospital systems. I have also long had an interest in neuroinfectious disease, something that Rush has a particular focus in. |

Matt McGath, MD | Hometown: Freeport, IL Medical School: University College of Medicine in Rockford Residency: University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria Internal Medicine Residency Program Why I Chose Rush/CCH for Fellowship: I chose Rush because of the wide variety of clinical experiences afforded by working at both RUMC and Cook County. One of my main areas of interest within ID is HIV/AIDS, and the CORE Center offers an unparalleled opportunity for further education and experience in the care of patients living with HIV. Everyone during the interview day was also extremely welcoming and their passion for ID and fellow education was obvious. I am also really looking forward to living, working, and learning in Chicago, which I think is one of the best cities in the world. |
