Program Identity & Fit

This four-year diagnostic radiology residency at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center is a community-based, faith-founded, tertiary-care training program set in a 517-bed Level 1 trauma center with a Level III NICU on Chicago's north side. High case volume (over 100,000 exams annually) across a broad adult and pediatric population, one of only four Level 1 trauma centers in the region, provides substantial acute and subspecialty exposure. The curriculum supplements home-site training with three months of pediatric radiology at Lurie Children's Hospital and a dedicated nuclear medicine month at Loyola University, reflecting a structured, subspecialty-rotation model rather than a research-driven identity. The program frames its graduates as prepared for both academic and private practice, with scholarly activity (research projects, QI initiatives) present as an expected component of training rather than a defining focus.
