Director's Welcome

Welcome to the Resurrection Medical Center Transitional Year Residency Program. We are an ACGME accredited program with a long history of providing excellent and broad based first year postgraduate medical training for physicians preparing for residency programs in specialties including radiology, radiation oncology, ophthalmology, anesthesia, dermatology and other disciplines.

Resurrection Medical Center is a community hospital located on the far northwest side of Chicago. It offers a wide range of services including an open heart surgery program, an on site inpatient rehabilitation center, a cancer center, and an emergency department that provides service to a wide area that includes O'Hare International Airport, one of the world's busiest.

Graduate and undergraduate medical education have been a part of the fabric of RMC since it's founding in 1953. The TYR residency program is co-sponsored by the institution's other two residency programs: Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine. Major university affiliations are with Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and Midwestern University. Residents and students from these schools rotate through RMC.

The curriculum is designed to provide the transitional year resident with a solid foundation for subsequent specialty training. Residents work very closely with a dedicated attending staff and are afforded a high degree of responsibility in a collegial atmosphere. A wide variety of elective rotations is available.

We appreciate your interest in our program and invite you to explore the opportunities available here at Resurrection Medical Center. We believe we offer an experience that provides an excellent chance to learn and grow professionally in one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in the country.
