Program highlights
- Lead with community engagement: every class designs, implements and measures a community service project, started early and finalised in the final year. Bring a concrete project idea.
- Social medicine and evidence-based emphasis: ask how community projects feed into scholarly output, which the curriculum builds in the second half of training.
- Senior year includes a 'junior attending' role with administrative and teaching duties and ED operations roles: good fit if you want leadership/teaching.
- Partner-site exposure: toxicology at Cook County, trauma at Mt. Sinai, pediatrics/PICU at Advocate Children's Oak Lawn, EMS Lincolnwood. Ask about trauma procedure volume and how rotations are scheduled.
- The page says the program is four years; ask how the extra year is used (the year-by-year list shows electives, research and CSP time).
- Open to IMGs, no minimum scores, one SLOE required and rolling interviews: apply early and ask about graduates' first-job and fellowship outcomes for a program established in 2019.
