Of those six specialties, cancer, diabetes/endocrinology, gastroenterology/GI surgery and gynecology ranked among the top 25 programs in the country.
Of the more than 4,750 medical centers surveyed across the country, UChicago Medicine ranked:
- #14 in diabetes and endocrinology
- #14 in gastroenterology and GI surgery
- #21 in cancer
- #22 in gynecology
- #35 in urology

U.S. News also evaluates performance for common adult procedures and conditions by hospitals that treat enough patients aged 65 and older, giving a high-performing, average or below average rating. UChicago Medicine received high-performing marks in aortic valve surgery, COPD, colon cancer surgery, diabetes, heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, kidney failure, knee replacement, lung cancer surgery, pneumonia and stroke.
