14 | July 12, 2018 | The lake forest leader News LakeForestLeader.com First residency class graduates from Lake Forest Hospital Submitted by Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital The first medical residency program for the Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital is graduating its inaugural class, prompting a time for celebration, not just for the young physicians, but for the program itself. The Northwestern Mc- Gaw Family Medicine Residency at Lake Forest Hospital welcomed its first class of physicians in 2015, but the work to create the program dates back several years before that, said Deborah S. Clements, MD, FAAFP, chair of Family and Community Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Clements sees the residency program as another example of Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital’s expanding participation with academics and research. “Their graduation is so exciting because the residents really established Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital as a community academic health center,” Dr. Clements said. “It was a huge transition for everyone here. You can develop a curriculum and bring on the residents, but changing the culture is a leap, and we were successful in doing that. The residency program creates a culture of inquisitiveness and learning.” The residency program boasts unique aspects. Residents participate in a Spanish immersion program, and complete clinical rotations in three locations with different types of patients — inpatients, at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital; outpatients, at Northwestern Medicine Grayslake Outpatient Center; and economically disadvantaged patients at Erie HealthReach in Waukegan, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that is partially funded by Northwestern Medicine. For resident J. Mica Guzman, MD, MS, that diversity was key. “I honestly don’t know of many other residency programs that have two different clinical sites in addition to an inpatient hospital experience,” Guzman said. He noted that the group was able to follow patients through their medical process, whether it was inpatient, outpatient, or even in some cases, hospice. That breadth of experience was evident by the career paths that the graduating residents chose to pursue, Clements said. Two residents have accepted positions as hospitalists, one will work at an FQHC in Indiana, and another will return to her home community in central Illinois to practice family medicine. Two more have accepted fellowships and another will remain with Northwestern Medicine as a family medicine physician. Clements is also proud List of Graduates: • Anna Balabanova, MD, will remain at Northwestern Medicine with a fellowship at Northwestern Medicine Osher Center for Integrative Medicine. • Latoya Epps-Scott, MD, has accepted a hospitalist position in Georgia, near her family. • Ryan Golden, MD, will be joining the hospitalist team at Lake Forest Hospital. • J.
