Message from the PD

Dear Applicant,

I want to be the first to warmly welcome you and thank you for your interest in ACMC Emergency Medicine. I am extremely proud of our legacy since 1977 of training superior emergency physicians, and am grateful for the opportunity to serve our patients on the south side of Chicago. More importantly, I am excited to share what we have to offer with you. ACMC is a Level I Trauma Center and a tertiary referral center, with advanced LVAD, transplant, neurointerventional services, and Advocate Children's Hospital on campus.  Our medical center is dedicated to providing progressive, patient-centered medical care, and supports medical students as well as multiple residencies.  Our Emergency Medicine program is always evolving, incorporating our residents’ input in order to optimize their educational experience.  Beyond outstanding clinical training, our goal is to provide mentoring and preparation for any desired practice environment:  community, fellowship, or academics.  We highly value resident wellness and the diversity of our medical team, our patients, and the communities we serve.  Please look through our website for more information about our program, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Andrea Carlson, MD
