Life in Chicago: Work Hard, Live Well
Chicago is more than just the backdrop to your fellowship training — it’s an extension of your experience. As one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the country, Chicago offers our fellows an exceptional quality of life, blending world-class cultural attractions, affordable living, and easy access to nature. From lakefront bike rides and Michelin-starred dining to professional sports and live music, there’s something here for everyone — all within reach of Rush’s centrally located campus.
We invite you to explore how life at Rush and in Chicago can enrich your personal and professional growth.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Rush Pain Fellowship
At Rush, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are foundational to our identity and integral to the way we train the next generation of pain medicine physicians. We firmly believe that a diverse and inclusive environment enhances clinical excellence, drives innovation, and strengthens the communities we serve.
In the Interventional Pain Medicine Fellowship, we welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. We value the unique perspectives each fellow brings and recognize that these differences enrich both the learning environment and the care we deliver. Our program is strengthened by its commitment to fostering a culture of mutual respect, open dialogue, and intentional inclusivity.
Rush is proud to be part of an institution where diversity and inclusiveness are not just aspirations, but priorities reflected in recruitment, retention, mentorship, and community outreach. We actively work to ensure all fellows feel welcomed, supported, and empowered throughout their training.
We invite you to bring your voice, your experience, and your perspective to our team.
