==History==
Northwestern University is proud of its long tradition of national leadership in emergency medicine (EM) education and our state-of-the-art care for acutely ill or injured patients in the greater Chicago area. 

The first Northwestern EM resident graduated in 1973 from a program started at our former community affiliate, Evanston Hospital. In 1980, the Evanston EM program combined with a parallel residency that was housed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital – this merger created the current administrative structure for our residency program. We are the 6th oldest EM residency in the United States.
