Program Advantages What isn't amazing about this program? Chicago is a great city, Dr. Azar and Dr. Azar will infuse energy into this program which has been floudering a little in recent years great location, residents appears happy, good volume? energetic new chair Azar from MEEI The chairman is extremely enthusiastic about the program and resident education Great surgical numbers, strong fellowship match, well-respected program. Research is incentivized, and there is tons of support for research. PGY3 is a low-volume call year, and you have time to do research. They pay for you to have international experien Dr. Azar is awesome, surprising number of big names (very well published faculty), good surgical volume for a big city, excellent fellowship matches & top notch home fellowships (ASOPRS plastics, top 10 cornea, strong retina), free iPads! Outstanding didactics and clinical experience. Chicago is a great city. Some very notable faculty including a new chair Dr. Varma (glaucoma) who is very approachable and an excellent resident advocate. Call is very manageable. unambiguously top program in Chicago, major referral center, big names, top fellowship match (home has top cornea/retina), faculty vouch for residents, strong research/didactics

Program Disadvantages As a first year you have to do grand rounds presentations almost monthly the building, w/o windows, disrupts your circadian clock Facilities a bit old and outdated
Surgical volume seemed low
Probably none old facilities, but most of the department is being renovated Saturday lectures, surgical training may not be the best as volume moderately low. VA is shared with Northwestern so time is limited. none none none - saturday lectures
- older facilities 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
