from medical student to physician in the "Genesis" course offered
annually. This multi-day Mercy course takes place during the last week
of June.

is fostered in Daily Morning Report sessions. These provide an open forum

cases.

Research Project
Each year, our residents have the opportunity to present their research efforts before a visiting professor and an audience of peers and faculty. However, this particular year Dr. Emily Chang's paper was selected for ACOG.
Residents of the Adolescent clinic have the opportunity to rotate through the Phillips High School Clinic. The clinic offers comprehensive services for adolescent females. We provide obstetric care, annual gynecological visits, STD counseling, and contraception counseling. The clinic also has social services and counseling for students in need. The Adolescent Clinic sessions are currently every fourth Wednesday of the month.
Awarded by the Chicago Gynecological Society of Chicago. We compete against all of the residency programs in the Chicagoland area.
