Stritch School of Medicine - Elective Course Catalog

Introduction

Visiting Student Policies

Students enrolled in either an LCME accredited medical school or an Osteopathic (AOA) accredited medical school located in the U.S. or Canada are welcome to apply for elective clerkships listed in this catalog. Loyola-Stritch students do have priority in registering for electives. In order to be considered, a visiting student must meet the criteria outlined below.

Visiting student criteria:

The Dean (or other appropriate school official) must certify that:
1. the student is registered, paying tuition, and in good standing at his/her medical school in his/her final year of the M.D. program. the student has successfully completed Universal Precautions Training.
  
  the student has successfully completed the core clerkship, which includes a clinical practicum component, in the specialty area of the elective requested prior to the start of the elective, as well as any other prerequisite stated in the elective clerkship description.
  
  the visiting student is covered by personal hospitalization insurance and professional liability coverage, at a rate of $1 million/$3 million, by their own medical school while participating in the elective at Loyola-Stritch.
2. the student has approval and is recommended for participation in an elective at Loyola-Stritch.
In compliance with Illinois State Health laws, the student must have completed the immunizations that are required for participation in clerkships at the Stritch School of Medicine and its affiliate hospitals PRIOR to the beginning date of the elective.

A visiting student may register for no more than 12 weeks of electives offered through Loyola-Stritch.

Once accepted for an elective, the visiting student is expected to honor that commitment. Notification of withdrawal must be made in writing to the Loyola Office of Registration and Records and the appropriate department at least 6 weeks in advance.

Housing is NOT available for visiting students; parking is available for a modest fee.
