Pritzker Reels
Why Pritzker?
Let our students and faculty tell you themselves! Join John Paro, Renee Rodriguez, and Andy Anderson—members of the Class of 2010 and Pritzker Reels producers—as they guide you through the city of Chicago, the Hyde Park campus, the Pritzker curriculum, and many other activities and initiatives taking place on our dynamic campus. You will meet Dr. Holly J. Humphrey, Dean for Medical Education, as well as other leaders among the Pritzker faculty. You will hear from our students as to why they chose Pritzker and about the contributions they have made to our campus, city, and the practice of medicine. And with this glimpse into life as a Pritzker student, we hope that you will want to learn more!
