Dr. Rod Passman, director of the Center for Arrhythmia Research and a professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at Feinberg, spoke with STAT about how the research could fundamentally change the standard of care for millions of Americans. |  From WBEZ Chicago At the Logan Correctional Center, women have the chance to obtain a bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University through one of the few programs nationwide and the only one in Illinois that allows incarcerated women to obtain a bachelor's degree.
