Meet Dr. Jeanette Liou, chief resident
Q&A with the 2025-26 chief residents
Jeanette Liou, MD
Page Family Endowed Chief Resident
Medical school: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
What does being a chief resident mean to you?
It is an honor to be selected as one of the chief residents. Throughout my training, I have looked up to our chief residents not only for their clinical excellence and leadership, but also for their compassion, mentorship, and dedication to the residency program.
Being a chief resident is a unique opportunity to give back to the program that has shaped me into the physician I am today. I am excited to contribute to the growth and development of our residents and help foster a learning environment that continues to inspire excellence in patient care and education.
What are you most looking forward to as chief?
I am excited about the opportunity to work closely with both the residents and faculty throughout this year.
One of the aspects of this role that I’m particularly excited about is the opportunity to give morning report. Morning report has always been one of my favorite ways to learn in residency. It’s such an interactive way to learn from clinical cases and build diagnostic skills. I’ve always found it to be a valuable learning experience, and it’s a privilege to now have the chance to contribute to that experience as a chief resident.
I am excited to contribute to the growth and development of our residents and help foster a learning environment that continues to inspire excellence in patient care and education.

What’s your favorite part of the UW internal medicine residency?
One of the aspects I love most is the incredible community that exists here both among the residents and with our faculty.
From the first day I interviewed for residency at UW, I was struck by the warmth, enthusiasm, and dedication of the faculty. They are not only exceptional clinicians and experts in their fields, but they also possess a true passion for teaching. It’s clear that they genuinely love mentoring and guiding the next generation of physicians.
