About the program
Resurrection Emergency Medicine residency (apply via NRMP as Prime Midwest GME Consortium - IL, Emergency Medicine) is a PGY 1-3 community-based program in Chicago established in 1996 with 39 EM residents and a program director in the role since 2004. Residents rotate through multiple community hospitals with a combined ED census over 100,000 encounters; St. Francis is a primary site and Level 1 trauma center with few other residents, so EM residents run trauma cases. Responsibility is not graded: procedures and resuscitations from day one. Curriculum is 13 four-week blocks per year with off-service time at Mt. Sinai and Cook County (trauma), Lutheran General and Comer Children's (pediatrics) and toxicology with Cook County and UIC. Ultrasound fellowship offered at Resurrection. Applications via ResidencyCAS.

Program highlights
- Stress comfort with real-world community EM: the program says its multi-hospital exposure gives experience not afforded in larger academic centers.
- No graded responsibility: residents do procedures and resuscitations from day one. Ask what supervision looks like and how PGY-1s are prepared for that.
- St. Francis is a Level 1 trauma center with minimal other residents, so EM residents handle trauma; also trauma at Mt. Sinai (PGY-1, PGY-3 as senior) and Cook County (PGY-2). Ask how procedure numbers compare.
- Ultrasound is a stated strength (dedicated US/EMS block, ultrasound fellowship at Resurrection): ask about fellow involvement and tape review.
- Curriculum has distinct year-3 blocks (Administrative, Toxicology with Cook County and UIC, Elective incl. global health): align your interests to electives and ask about leadership/administrative opportunities.
- Applicants must apply through ResidencyCAS and search NRMP as 'Prime Midwest GME Consortium - IL (Emergency Medicine)'; Step 2 strongly encouraged and an EM eSLOE is expected. Check current-cycle dates directly.
