Collectively, our four-site EDs — UI Health, Advocate Illinois Masonic, Advocate Lutheran General, and Advocate Christ Medical Center – Little Company of Mary — see 205,000 patients annually. Residents and rotating students will have the opportunity to rotate through each of these sites and gain hands-on experience with a wide range of medical and surgical conditions, trauma cases, and patient care, including pediatrics while performing various procedures across diverse patient populations. EM/IM residents will also rotate at the Jesse Brown VA, and all residents and students will utilize the Simulation and Integrative Learning Institute (SAIL), located in Mile Square Health Center.
