University of Chicago Program
About This Program
As the second oldest training program, our residency has a rich history of upholding a singular mission: training leaders in healthcare. We do this via a tripartite model: professional development within and outside the emergency department, a commitment to our community, and humanizing the process of residency training. In short, our program will provide all the resources for you to become a leader in emergency medicine and we would love for you to join us!
