Structure of rotation

One-on-one with attendings/residents

Amt/quality of time residents/attendings

You spend all of your time with either Dr. Strokosch at the Teen clinic and with the eating disorder patients, and with Dr. Joyce at the Job Corps sites or in her office hours.  There were times when I felt I could have left earlier, but overall it was a good experience.

Great experience doing inpatient and outpatient at Rush. Really good hands on patient care at the outside clinics of job corps and teen clinic. Received the most teaching in outpatient environment. 

Quality time with attendings. Little time with residents.

Typical day

It depends on where youre scheduled to be.  On Mondays, you could have Chicago Job Corps in the morning and then teen clinic in Evergreen park in the afternoon.  Other days, you might see some private patients in the Rush clinic, have lunch with the eating disorder patients, and then go do something else.  Hours are generally 8-5.

Schedule was typically 8-4 on Rush days and 8-2:30 offsite days but long driving...joliet and southwest side of chicago.
