Message from Dr. Andrew J. Varney, Residency Program Director

Welcome to the Southern Illinois School of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency web pages. We encourage you to browse through our site and find out why previous medical students have chosen us for the next phase of their medical career. Our dedicated faculty and staff, our small size, and unique approach to teaching make us an excellent choice. Our 92% three-year rolling pass rate on the ABIM board exams is documented evidence of the quality education you will receive at SIU-SM. In addition, our program continues its national leadership role in the Educational Innovation Project (EIP) which is designed to allow forward-thinking residency programs to develop new curricula for Internal Medicine residents. We are very proud to be a part of this ambitious project, knowing that the changes SIU will be making will help shape the future teaching structure of all residency programs across the nation. We hope that you will agree after visiting this site that SIU School of Medicine’s Internal Medicine Residency Program is where you should continue your medical education.
