Life at Pritzker
What's Happening This Quarter
It's fall in Hyde Park, and a new class of first-year students is immersed in the pre-clinical curriculum. Second-year students are finishing up their pre-clinical training while third-year students are rotating through clerkships in the hospital, and fourth-year students are applying for residency training, in search of their next professional home.
