Michael Reese Hospital has an affiliation with University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, therefore, that is where the other students that you see will be from (and residents from UIC as well.

It's is definitely a teaching hospital because of the University affiliation and there is a shuttle to the University as well. The hospital faced financial instability in the 1998 which sort of shook its reputation and led to loss of some faculty and staff from there transferring to other area University Hospitals.

Not sure how it is now but that was the scoop when I was rotating there during my last year of Pharm.D. school at the Univesity of Illinois.
