EM RESIDENCY
Curriculum
Education as diverse as your city.
Here at UIC, your education is our priority. From high-fidelity simulations, Resident Olympics, and after-hour Journal Clubs to specialized tracks, events across the city, and diverse practices at our four hospitals sites, the Curriculum at UIC will meet your needs no matter where you choose to practice after you graduate.
Didactics
Five hours of protected conference time each week.
Every Thursday morning we have 5 hours of protected conference time with 2 hours of protected time after conference to allow our residents time before their shifts to eat, hang out and enjoy the weather.
The first hour of conference is dedicated to our BrownCoat Core Curriculum, which is an intern specific curriculum. During this hour the seniors will either have asynchronous learning or higher-level topics covered.
During the rest of our conference time you can expect high yield 20-30 minute lectures, small groups, simulations and procedure workshops. We are EM physicians and know the best learning happens in the first 20 minutes, other than grand rounds, we do not have hour long lectures.
Hospital Sites
Our residents call four separate hospitals “home” allowing access to patients across the entire city of Chicago. This gives our residents a truly unique experience when compared to the other programs in our great city.
Discover what unique benefits each location has to offer.
