Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Loyola University Medical Center. As space is available, applications for visiting residents are reviewed by individual program directors for approval.

Application to be considered for performing a rotation in one of the LUMC departments must be submitted 90-days prior to your expected start date.  Upon approval, required documentation must be received by the appropriate department no later than 30 days prior to start of your rotation.

All visiting physicians must be currently in an ACGME-approved training program in their home institution and must be licensed to practice medicine in the State of Illinois.

If you are not licensed or licensed from another state, you will need to apply for an Illinois license to practice medicine, even if only for one month. You have two options:
 

• A temporary medical license (PDF, 323K), which costs $100 and is only valid for the exact dates of the rotation at LUMC. http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/forms/md-t.pdf
• A permanent medical license which costs $300 and currently will be good valid up to July 31, 2011. The permanent license is an option if you plan on moving to or staying in Illinois, or if you expect to practice in Illinois frequently. http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/forms/md-ac-end.pdf 

Note: The application form and all required documents must be received in the GME Office at least 3 weeks PRIOR to the start date of the rotation for visiting residents who are currently in possession of an Illinois Medical license.  If you are not currently licensed in Illinois, it will take about 3 MONTHS to apply for and obtain a license.
