A 434-bed hospital located near O’Hare Airport, Resurrection Medical Center is a comprehensive, modern health care provider with state-of-the-art facilities and services, including an Outpatient Services Center, an expansive Radiology and Imaging Center, and a Professional Office Building. Resurrection Medical Center offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services, including open-heart surgery, advanced cancer treatment, single-room maternity care and an outstanding continuum of rehabilitation services.

With 645 licensed beds, Lutheran General is one of the five largest tertiary care teaching, research, and referral hospitals in Illinois. Lutheran General’s 4,500 employees provide care to 25,000 inpatients, 124,000 outpatients and 42,000 emergency patients each year.

Lutheran General Children’s Hospital is one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of pediatric services in Illinois, and cares for more than 3,500 pediatric inpatients and 100,000 outpatients annually.

The Lutheran General medical staff includes 850 physicians and dental surgeons who have distinguished themselves throughout Chicagoland as clinicians, teachers and leaders in the healthcare field. Approximately 53% of the current medical staff’s adult primary care physicians are graduates of a Lutheran General residency program.

The hospital is designated a Level I Trauma Center for both adult and pediatric care by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago.

A pioneer in laser and endoscopic surgery, Lutheran General is one of Chicagoland’s busiest surgical centers, performing nearly 20,000 operations annually. Lutheran’s surgeons offer expertise in neurosurgery, trauma, urology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, opthalmology, heart and vascular procedures, among others. Lutheran General also provides expert pediatric care in every surgical subspecialty.

In April 1996, Lutheran General’s Children’s Hospital’s outpatient programs relocated to the $20 million Victor Yackman Children’s Pavilion. This three story, 80,000-square-foot facility includes specialty clinics for children with complex illnesses and chronic conditions, and is one of the largest centers in the state for children with developmental disabilities or delays.

Lutheran General’s Research and Education Institute is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, allowing the hospital’s medical staff to sponsor CME programming for national audiences – a status usually held only by large university teaching hospitals.

Each year, over 220 helicopter flights transport trauma victims, high risk obstetrical, and neonatal patients to Lutheran General. A new heliport landing deck has just been constructed on the roof of the hospital’s medical/surgical wing.

The Research and Education Institute’s institutional review board monitored over 400 active research projects during the past year.

Lutheran General is the only non-university hospital outside of Chicago with physician residency programs in internal medicine, family practice, pathology, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, orthopaedics, and psychiatry; and fellowships in cardiovascular surgery, gastroenterology, and geriatrics.

When your application is complete, your file will be reviewed by the selection committee and you may be invited for a personal interview.

Who should my references be?
One needs to be your PA program director, the other should be a physician who has been a clinical supervisor (preferably a urologist or general surgeon).

Is there an application fee?
No.

Does this program offer a Master’s Degree?
No. It offers a certificate, just like a traditional MD residency program in urology does. For information on Master’s Degree programs, please see the Finch University Post-Professional Master’s Program website.

Why should I apply to a residency program?
(Why not just take a job in urology?)
The residency program is very intense, and offers the participants both a wide variety and a large quantity of experiences in a short period of time. We believe that in just 12 months, we can give you the confidence and experience that it would otherwise take many years to attain. This will make you a much more attractive candidate to an employer, and hopefully, allow you to start your career with a higher level of responsibility and pay.
