One of the best parts about our residency is how close our residents are. Activities are organized both by the department and by the residents. They include:

  • Welcome happy hour for new interns.
  • Resident recreational sports leagues – rotating sports throughout the year! They are open to residents and their significant others.
  • Monthly happy hours.
  • Friendsgiving.
  • Resident winter party where faculty cover the floors so all residents can attend.
  • Retreats – each class has their own all-day retreat with a social event afterwards. The second-year class has an overnight retreat.

There are also plenty of things to do around the city of Chicago! Our residents live in a variety of neighborhoods, and each one has something different to offer. Some of our residents’ favorite things to do around the city include:

  • Chicago’s amazing food and restaurant scene, including Restaurant Week Chicago.
  • Beaches along Lake Michigan, the lake front trail, Chicago riverwalk, Millennium Park with free concerts and Movie in the Park series - and lots more greenspace throughout the city.
  • Chicago Symphony Orchestra aka CSO -- RUSH residents can sign up to be “doctor of the house” and get free tickets all year long.
  • Catching a professional sport game/match of the: White Sox, Cubs, Sky, Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, Chicago Red Stars and of course, Chicago Fire FC – RUSH is the official team doctor for the White Sox and the Bulls, so residents can often obtain discounted or free tickets!
  • Concerts, festivals, and endless neighborhood events.
