Train in a high-volume, high-acuity environment across our four emergency departments — UI Health, Advocate Illinois Masonic, Advocate Lutheran General, and Advocate Christ Medical Center–Little Company of Mary — which collectively care for more than 205,000 patients each year. Residents and students rotate through all sites, building confidence and expertise while managing cases from complex medical and surgical cases to trauma, pediatrics, and care for diverse patient populations.
