Medical Student
Rotation Elective Registration for Visiting Students
Students enrolled in other U.S. medical schools are welcome to
apply for elective clerkships. Loyola-Stritch students do have priority
in registering for electives. In order to be considered, a visiting
student must meet the criteria outlined below.
The Dean (or other appropriate school official) must certify that:
-
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 by his or her
own medical school while participating in the elective at Loyola-Stritch.
- 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 detailed on the yellow
form, which are required for participation in clerkships
at the Stritch School of Medicine and its affiliate hospitals prior
to the beginning date of the elective (before you will be allowed
to report to the floor).
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; on the campus parking
is limited to Lot 11 (paid parking permit required).
Procedure for Visiting Student Registration
Students who meet the criteria set above can obtain an Application
for Elective Clerkship from the Office of Registration and Records,
Room 1700, Bldg. 101 (708/216-3222). Before completing this form,
the student should contact the supervisor responsible for the elective
at Loyola to determine if there are any special requirements to
be fulfilled in addition to those listed in the elective catalog.
Some departments require an interview, references, or other information
before taking final action on the application, but the department
of Urology does not have any special requirements.
The completed application along with the completed yellow Immunization
Information Form with the necessary signatures must both be forwarded
to the Office of Registration and Records at Loyola (not
to the elective supervisor or department), no later than six weeks
prior to the start of the elective rotation. Failure to comply with
this requirement may lead to delay in starting the rotation. Visiting
students desiring to take an elective here will be accommodated
only if they have been approved by our Student Health Office as
having the required proof of immunizations and an elective application
has been processed through the Office of Registration and Records.
Acceptance by a department or supervisor does not constitute approval
for a visiting student elective.
A copy of the application specifying whether the elective has been
approved or not will be sent to the student and to his/her Dean
along with any other pertinent information (Section III of the application
form).
On the first day of the elective the visiting student should obtain
a visiting student I.D. badge at the Environmental Services Department
(Administration Bldg., Rm. 1400, Roosevelt Road & First Avenue).
This badge will permit entrance to the campus and patient care areas
and use of the medical library. Only students properly registered
according to the above procedure will be eligible for issuance of
an ID
Visiting students should be aware that Loyola-Stritch students have
priority in registering for electives according to the enclosed
Timetable for Elective Registration. Visiting student registration
will not be processed for a minimum of four weeks after the opening
sign-up date for Loyola-Stritch students listed on the timetable.
Visiting students should determine appropriate registration times
by referring to the dates on the timetable.
