Past, Present, Future: The Evolution of Medicine at the University of Chicago's Hospitals

October 25, 2011 - March 30, 2012

A hospital and medical school at the University of Chicago were envisioned by the university founders. That plan, initiated with a joint medical program with Rush Medical College, was followed by the development of the world-class University of Chicago Medical Center on campus. This exhibit looks at the history and evolution of the medical school program, the hospital facilities and their technology, and medical partnerships with other Chicago area hospitals.

Curated by Mindy Schwartz, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago.
