History
Founded in 1972, the University of Chicago Emergency Medicine Residency is one of the country’s oldest training programs in emergency medicine. Program alumni have distinguished themselves by achieving leadership roles in the academic, teaching, political, and practice arenas of emergency medicine.
The emergency medicine program has a proud tradition at the University and has played a leadership role in developing the prehospital care system in Chicago, initiating the only hospital-based aeromedical transport system in the city, and contributing to the care of level I trauma patients.
Its university-based program is unique in that it is comprised of three level one trauma centers located in distinctly different socio-demographic settings. The patient population ranges from the newborn to the aged and reflects a mix of private and referral patients as well as the emergent care of the medically under served. This insures its residents an incredibly diverse, comprehensive clinical training experience in a three year training format.
