Surgical Resident Life

There are many ways to describe the surgical residents here at RUSH University Medical Center. They are compassionate, professional, hardworking, and fun! Over the course of the five years our residents spend training here at RUSH, they develop strong relationships with their patients, mentors, and colleagues. Residents in our program have strong camaraderie and leave this program as lifelong friends. Choosing to train at RUSH also means choosing to live in one of the greatest cities in the nation. Chicago is an amazing city that is filled with culture, adventure, food and sports. There is never a dull moment here!
