Swedish Covenant Hospital is happy to announce a partnership with McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University and Erie Family Health, allowing the hospital to be a training site for McGaw’s family medicine residency program based in Humboldt Park.
Swedish Covenant Hospital is excited to partner with a major medical academic center and Erie Family Health to help train the next generation of family physicians who will continue to provide high-quality medical care and services to local communities. This academic partnership builds on the hospital’s established relationships for other programs with St. Georges University of London and Midwestern University.
Swedish Covenant Hospital is happy to add to the hospital’s training programs to provide family medicine residents with broad training on a range of advanced technology and procedures in the hospital environment needed for caring for community members. The new program will be in addition to the hospital’s current family medicine residency program. Full implementation is anticipated to take place within a year.
“This new partnership is a testament to our medical training environment,” said President and CEO Mark Newton. “I would like to thank everyone here at Swedish Covenant Hospital for their continuous efforts to provide world-class care to the community and exceptional training experiences for our medical residents.”
These accomplishments illustrate the strength of Swedish Covenant Hospital’s medical education environment. The hospital continues to look forward to providing excellent training at Swedish Covenant Hospital for the next generation of physicians to serve the community.
