Bring on Simtastic 2023!
Each year, the PGY-2s across Chicagoland programs get to practice their skills, and be evaluated by faculty of other programs! We are thrilled to be a site and learn more together!

We are THRILLED to welcome Dr. Italo Brown, MD MPH as our next grand rounds speaker tomorrow!

Throughout his career, Dr. Brown has championed issues surrounding social medicine and health equity. Not only is he the Chief Impact Officer of T.R.A.P. Medicine, a barbershop-based wellness initiative, but he was named among the 40 Under 40 Leaders in Minority Health in 2017, and was recently selected to join the Health Equity Leaders Roundtable, a White House initiative, among many other accomplishments. We are so excited to learn from him!

A belated Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from our department holiday party! As we look back on 2022 and look into 2023, we are so grateful for the family that is NUEM - wishing health and happiness for all!

Meet Brew! This next pet of NUEM is too cute for just one pic, so we all get a treat. Brew is the covid pup of intern - his favorite food is pizza, is the biggest gentle giant, is possibly scared of his shadow, and LOVES his peanut butter filled Kong!
