The Program became dually accredited by the American Osteopathic Association in 2005 and subsequently achieved ACGME Osteopathic Recognition in 2019. We accept ten first year residents each year. PCC Community Wellness Center hosts our four clinical sites: one inside West Suburban Medical Center, one located in Oak Park, and two located in Chicago. The PCC sites are approved Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
