Audition Rotations
Our next audition season will be us soon! We offer audition rotations at our base hospital, Franciscan St. James in Olympia Fields, for 4 week periods. The rotation is split between Drs. Payne and Mehl. Please either contact us through our website or email our coordinator Tierra Amos at Tierra.Amos@franciscanalliance.org. Applications will be reviewed beginning Mar 11th, 2025 for this next cycle.
We were able to enjoy some education and good food at the Citywide Synthes Trauma Symposium at Fogo de Chao.
Two of our residents, Hunter Aronson and Tony D’Abarno, presented trauma cases that are unique to our program. (Hunter pictured here presenting a case from Advocate Christ)
We operate at multiple institutions throughout Chicago, including three adult level-1 trauma centers and two pediatric level-1 trauma centers
MEET OUR RESIDENTS
We have four positions available each year and twenty residents total.
Living in Chicago
Although our base hospital is located south of the city in the suburbs, the majority of our residents live in downtown Chicago to take advantage of everything the city has to offer.
