Special Features
Thank you for your interest in our program! We are a 14 resident program located in the Lakeview neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. Our patient population is diverse, including many Spanish speaking patients, a large immigrant and refugee population, as well as a strong LGBTQ+ population. Our program prides itself on providing strong surgical training and autonomy for our PGY4s, who take home call, so that our residents are ready to be independent upon graduation.
