Hospitals and Training Affiliates
There are three family medicine centers, the Family Medicine Center at University Village, the Pilsen Family Health Center, and Mile Square Health Center. They both play an integral part in the training of our residents. Together, they provide the settings for residents during their three years of training. Their differences complement each other, providing a combination of training in both a predominately insured population and a primarily undeserved urban environment.

In the PGY1, PGY2, and PGY3 levels, our residents work on the Family Medicine inpatient services; patients here are admitted and managed by Family Medicine faculty and residents; other specialties serve mainly in the consultant role, thus modeling private practice.
