John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County
(Previously known as Cook County Hospital)

Rush Internal Medicine residents rotate on the HIV ward at Stroger Hospital for one month a year. This is a closed unit of approximately 20 beds exclusively for HIV patients. This unit is run by two ward-type teams, which each consist of two interns and two senior residents. The teams are supervised by an Infectious Disease attending who rounds daily on all the patients. This rotation is unique experience because of the significant number of HIV patients drawn to the hospital by the CORE center. The CORE center is a large outpatient facility designed to provide comprehensive care to individuals and families affected by HIV and other infectious diseases.
