Our clinical faculty is among the very finest in the nation. This fact is borne out by the most recent rankings compiled by
U.S. News World Report, which listed the
University of Chicago Hospitals as an "Honor Roll" Hospital - the highest distinction bestowed.
The rigorous
criteria employed by U.S. 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.
Neurology physicians practice in state-of-the
art facilities including The Duchossois Center
for Advanced Medicine.
