Patient Care

Our clinical faculty is among the very finest in the nation. This fact is borne out by the most recent rankings compiled by US News & World Report, which listed the University of Chicago Hospitals as an "Honor Roll" Hospital - the highest distinction bestowed.

The rigorous criteria employed by US News & World Report in assembling the rankings includes mortality rates, technology, procedure volume and nursing care and, most importantly, peer assessments by practicing specialists across the country. The latter are asked to list the top specialties in their fields for difficult cases, irrespective of cost or location, clearly an objective appraisal of the quality of the faculty who tackle these complex cases.

The clinical faculty is simultaneously engaged in teaching medical students, residents and fellows as well as conducting cutting-edge translational and clinical research. The close integration with the basic sciences creates a bench-to-bedside culture that values swift application of discovery to patient benefit. This commitment places the Division and the Hospitals at the Forefront of Medicine.

Divisional physicians practice in state-of-the art facilities that include the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine and the new Comer Children's Hospital.
