Students park in the visitor's lot.

Thanks.

Is there plenty of parking in the visitors lot ? Or are students left hustling for rare spaces ?

Hey Doctor X, how was your PEDS rotation here? What were the hours like? How would you rate your PEDS experience here overall? As good as OB?

So far its been great, with plenty of deliveries and learning opportunities. Very little scutwork involved...the main drawback is a real lack of gynecology surgeries (in this entire rotation, I have only seen the lap removal of an ovarian cyst, some D+C's, and salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy). Plenty of clinic and L+D experience, though.

Like that last post describing where most people live, its true that Little Italy/UIC/Rush/Med District is where most stay, but I lucked out and found a renovated basement one block behind the hospital (takes 2 minutes to walk). I am literally on the block that the train is on (California pink line stop). The neighborhood is purely Mexican (lots of families), but not dangerous in the least. Much, much cheaper than the other areas described above, but of course not as nice (I chose it for location, location, location).

I got lucky by finding the ad for this place on Craigslist...look for things near the Cermak/California intersection, which is walking distance from the hospital. Also, come in person to the area if you can and look for "For Rent" signs since many of the landlords here are Mexican and thus are not likely to use internet sources such as "Rooms for Rent" or Craigslist.org.

students can actually park in the employee parking lot, its much safer there. security will come to know your face and car as well although the first time you park there you'll have to let them know that you're a student. do NOT park on the street because ur car WILL get broken into. visitor's parking is usually still closed when you come in around 6:30 am so that's not really an option.

HOURS for OB:
call is q4 and it's 24 hour call (630am - 630am)
your schedule alternates, one day you have surgery (630am-230pm), then clinic (9am-varies from 1pm to 4pm), then your on call, then your postcall (but you still have to come in for an hour of lecture from 12-1 or 11-12.

hope that helps!

I am not seeing St Anthony's on the FRIEDA site for any Greenbook residencies or as a participating hospital. Cook does not list it as a participating institution for OB or Peds, Loyola does not list it for FM, it and Loretto are not listed for psych, St. Josephs does not list it for surgery.

Where are you guys getting the information that these are Greenbook if they are not listed in the Greenbook(FRIEDA)?

Also when did Reese come of the Greenbook for OB/Gyn?

If you check on ACGME.org, you'll see the PEDS and FAMILY programs list as affilliated through Cook County and Loyola.

Be careful with Frieda, they sometimes haven't updated their database to reflect changes noted on the ACGME website. One case in point is Surg at Wyckoff being listed as participating institution for Caritas. Always check with the ACGME first.

Like the poster above said, check Cook County Pedes and St. Anthony's is listed as a participating institution. FM at Loyola lists it as well, as does Cook County ER (the ER residents do 1 month of OB training)

If you look under University of IL, Chicago and their OB/Gyn Residency, it lists Michael Reese as a participating institution.

All of these are at the ACGME website.

I didn't find the St. Joseph's affiliation. When I was at St. Anthony's there were St. Joseph's residents...perhaps they have stopped the affiliation now?
