Metropolitan Group Hospital

The Metropolitan Group Hospitals (MGH) Residency in General Surgery is a unique surgical training program based in Chicago, IL. Established in 1973, the program is affiliated with the University of Illinois College of Medicine and encompasses four community teaching hospitals, including Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, and Saint Francis Hospital. With a focus on academic surgical education rooted in cognition and meta-cognition, the program aims to train the next generation of surgical leaders, emphasizing excellence in patient care, technical skills, and lifelong learning.

Offering a broad base of clinical and operative experience, the MGH Residency provides residents with the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of attending surgeons, gaining insights from various perspectives on the art and science of surgery. Despite the potential closure of Mercy Hospital due to economic conditions, the program remains committed to maintaining its high standards of surgical education and skill development, with ongoing support from the University of Illinois and the remaining training institutions. The MGH Residency welcomes applications from aspiring surgeons and looks forward to continuing to enhance the program in the future.
