Ascension Resurrection

The Ascension Resurrection Family Medicine Residency Program has been training great family physicians for more than 30 years. Our program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), including Osteopathic Recognition.

The Ascension Resurrection Family Medicine Residency Program encourages each resident to get the most out of their education by allowing individual style and experiences to help steer their goals and electives. Camaraderie within your year group, and between year groups, is one of the strengths of the program to allow everyone the best experience.

Each resident is assigned to a team that includes residents from all postgraduate levels, as well as a faculty member who acts as your mentor, guiding your progress throughout the program. Team members provide coverage during vacations, educational meetings, and when you are not in the office. You remain with your team and team leader during your three years at Ascension Resurrection developing a camaraderie and simulated group practice.

Family medicine requires range. Our graduates have found careers in all aspects of family medicine. From seeking out sports medicine fellowships, becoming a hospitalist, joining a rural medical clinic, becoming part of direct primary care practice, or joining an outpatient practice; our residents have done it all. Our goal is to provide tools for success in practice through a broad and versatile curriculum. Lifestyle medicine and point-of-care ultrasound are the two exciting recent additions to the curriculum, bringing practice-changing skills that will improve patient outcomes.

Our residents lead an inpatient medicine team comprised of interns from our competitive transitional year residency program and medical students from Loyola University, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, University of Illinois, and Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine. This inpatient team is responsible for hospitalized clinic patients, pediatric admissions, and the rapid response service. Our program is complemented by Ascension Resurrection's outstanding emergency medicine residency and their ultrasound fellowship, enhancing trainees critical care education on ER and ICU rotations.

Ascension Resurrection features permanent resident rotators from affiliated OB/GYN and surgery residencies. Our residents also benefit from working with the palliative care fellowship and pharmacy residency programs.
