This program is affiliated with jackson park - where you do 3 weeks at jackson park and 3 weeks at grove pediatrics. has anyone done this rotation? it seems sort of shady to me, in the sense that it might jeapordize me in getting licensure later on. Has anyone had any problems getting into any programs after having completed pediatrics here? What is your feel about this program? Should I take it or pray that peds will happen somewhere else? (it's the only core I have left)

Thanks guys!

The 3 weeks you do at JPH are in Neonatology. The program between Grove Pediatrics and JPH is fairly new....it only started a few months ago.

I myself have not done the rotation but from what I have heard, the 3 weeks you do in Buffalo Grove are outpatient Pedes at a private clinic...the doctor there doesn't really let you do much...it's more like you are shadowing him. He used to take students to a hospital affiliated with Northwestern but I'm not sure if he does that anymore.

The Neonatology at JPH is pretty good from what I've heard but a lot of presentations. Depending on the amount of deliveries, it is hot and cold in terms of seeing patients.

Overall, if you can get a better rotation, I think that would be better. But with the shortage of Pedes rotations, this is not a bad option if you have no other choices.

Good luck!

Finally, it seems ross is adding a new pediatrics site.Does anyone know how many students they will take on? And what is the call schedule like and what are the hours like? If I can get this rotation in short notice, I'll do it so I can avoid going back to the island.

it would be certified because the eval will come from jackson park not the clinic....i did mine at the clinic in joliet but the eval went through jackson park....also i have heard bad things about the neonat...that is why i did it in joliet

Are there any other options for peds in Chicago? I am signed up for a Step 2 review course here, so I can't really move right now, and my OBGYN is over in a couple of weeks.

Thanks so much for all the answers. I really appreciate it!

Has anyone recently rotated at Grove? Can you give me the breakdown if it's still 1st 3 weeks at Jackson, 2nd 3 weeks at Grove, what the hours are, where you report?

Thanks!

It's not really a new rotation. It's actually the same doctor who used to be affiliated with Advocate Lutheran - the affiliation is just now with Jackson Park.

So is there any advantage to this "new" rotation?

Does anyone know where to report on day 1? Somebody mentioned 3 weeks at Jackson Park and 3 weeks in Park Ridge. Anybody know which one is first? I'm trying to decide where to live, and how to commute between the 2 locations. Any info on this rotation would be helpful.

Seeing how half this rotation is in Buffalo Grove and the other three weeks are at Jackson Park, where is good to live? I'm thinking about living near UIC, does this make sense? Also, does anyone know if Buffalo Grove is the first three weeks or the JPH part?

How is it certified because the eval comes from Jackson Park? JPH has NO residency program in Pediatrics. In fact it only has a single "residency" for Family medicine.

This rotation is at best approved under the FP umbrella, but it's not an ACGME approved core.

To all who care,

I did this rotation in 2007. Overall, it was pretty good experience. At that time, the attending at Grove Park Pediatrics had just become affiliated with Jackson Park. We did 3 weeks of clinic (shadowing at Grove Pediatrics) and 3 weeks in neonatal at Jackson Park. The overall evaluation came from Jackson Park as a combined grade from both sites. Apparently, since Jackson Park does not have a Pediatrics residency program, the rotation goes on your transcript as "Family Practice - Pediatrics". This was not an issue towards my match process in 2008. At the time, I was told that this could possible be an issue for licensure in Texas, but am not sure if this was/is still true.

I'm scheduled to start this rotation in a couple of weeks, and have absolute zero knowledge of the area, so I would appreciate if someone could give me specific suggestions as to where to live, i.e. town, or neighborhood, etc. Thanks

Also any recent feedback on this rotation?
I hear it's kinda of crappy rotation, any truth to that?
I'm also very concerned about being under family and not an ACGME peds specialty, so much so, that I'm considering dropping it and taking peds after the step.

Any suggestions?
