History

Northwestern University is proud of its long tradition of national leadership in emergency medicine (EM) education and our state-of-the-art care for acutely ill or injured patients in the greater Chicago area.

The first Northwestern EM resident graduated in 1973 from a program started at our former community affiliate, Evanston Hospital. In 1980, the Evanston EM program combined with a parallel residency that was housed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital – this merger created the current administrative structure for our residency program. We are the 6th oldest EM residency in the United States.

-Northwestern EM residents care for and learn from a diverse population of patients at specially-chosen training sites. Its clinical curriculum is deliberately designed to produce residency graduates with advanced skills in life-saving and resuscitative procedures, critical care, trauma, and complex pediatric illness. The emergency departments (ED) of Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) and Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago are both Level 1 Trauma Centers, with a combined annual ED census of over 136,000 patients. The two hospitals are located within three city blocks on the Chicago campus of Northwestern University, in the Streeterville neighborhood. The high-volume, high-complexity ED populations at these two tertiary care centers allow for a centralized training experience for our residents – 39 of the 48 months of its program occur within these neighboring hospitals.
