Lutheran General isn't associated with one medical school. I liked it b/c it is a small program (3 residents per year) where you are treated very well. No call on the weekends. Very nice hospital (consistently ranked in the top 100 U.S. hospitals). I also have 0 interest in research, and this program has no research requirement. Bad program to go to if you want to be a bigwig academic professor. Awesome program if you want to have a pleasant 4 years and then practice psychiatry in a non-academic setting. About 25% of people go on to fellowships though. I would have also been happy at UIC, but I will leave that up to Cash Mani. I didn't rank any other Chicago programs.
