University of Chicago Program
About This Program
Our institution is the largest Medicaid provider in the state of Illinois, delivering gold-standard care to all surrounding communities that lack access to care. We are also a top tier research institution with our residents participating in research projects and getting financial support for presenting projects. Education is the main focus for the program leadership and selected core faculty - this year we will introduce restructured curricula focusing on year-in-training programming.
