One of the great strengths of Rush Medical College training is the variety of clinical settings in which its students can rotate. Each hospital is unique and it is a benefit to be able to experience each location if possible. The hospitals can be broadly generalized into University Hospitals, University-Affiliated Hospitals, Community Hospitals and County Hospitals
For most of the core clerkships the secretary will contact you in the month prior to starting the rotation in order to confirm last minute details of the rotation and to tell you where to meet on the first day. For all electives, it is prudent to call the contact person listed in the Clerkship Handbook the week before starting to confirm the time and place to meet on the first day. The location can change often from what is listed in the handbook or on OASIS and the only way to be sure is to call.
