![]() ![]() We have attempted to showcase this SSOM EM Alumni network on our alumni page, and we feel very confident that new graduates from our EM program will not be heading into the EM world alone. Given the core characteristics of a Loyola graduate, there is a bond that does not weaken after graduating from medical school, and we have received words of support from so many of our Stritch graduates throughout the process of applying for a residency. However, Loyola is not only a known name in medicine, but also in Emergency Medicine, through our Stritch School of Medicine graduates who are currently in training, and practicing throughout the country. There is a lack of a true Loyola EM residency alumni network, which many feel is needed for success after residency. We have also built a support and mentoring structure to ensure you have everything needed to achieve your goals during this challenging opening year. ![]() Question: What are some of the challenges that residents of a newer EM program will encounter?Īnswer: Going forward, our new residents will have senior residents above them. Our faculty know how to provide an environment of teaching and support in the clinical setting, and we expect for this to flourish with the addition of our EM Residency. We also welcome the residents of many different residency programs to our ED to rotate, including Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, ENT, and many others. We have a very robust Medical Student Clerkship, which is required of all Stritch students. In Loyola’s ED, given the teaching nature of our hospital, this is not the case. A newer EM residency usually means the introduction of clinical teaching to an EM attending, who may have been out of this environment for some time. The clinical environment is something else that needs to be considered. The faculty have been working with the promise of a residency for many, many years. Cichon, our Chair, will tell you – it has been 15-20 years of planning to get to the point where we could be approved for a program. You also need to be aware of the desire of the department to bear the responsibilities of a residency program. We have over 50 current residency programs, so rest assured that as a newer program, we have the structure and leadership to make this happen. You need the presence and support of your hospitals GME (these are the individuals who make sure residencies provide everything needed for a successful program) – we are truly fortunate at Loyola to have a very present, very robust, very well-versed and involved GME office. Question: What are some of the issues that are faced as a newer program?Īnswer(s): Admittedly, there are several. We have no cutoffs, we do not filter, and we will review every single application sent to us, and score it on a rubric that is based on our Mission Statement. Question: What is required in ERAS to apply?Īnswer(s): At least one EM SLOE, either COMLEX or USMLE 1 completion, your MSPE, CV, other Letters of Recommendation, and an otherwise completed ERAS file. You can also email our current residents their names and emails can be found under the pertinent section of the "Who We Are" tab. More information will be available on our webpage and our Twitter and Instagramaccounts when it becomes available. We will host periodic video chats to talk about different aspects of the program. ![]() Question: Can I learn anything else about the program?Īnswer: We would love to talk in person (or on screen). We will never send out more invites than we have spots, and will always give ample time for you to respond and plan accordingly. This means that interview offers will be sent out on Wednesday, October 20 and Interview Scheduling will open on Thursday October 21. Question: When can I apply? When will I hear anything about my application?Īnswer: We will be participating in the EM Unified Interview Release this year. Question: How many residents are in each class?Īnswer: 6 residents per year, for 3 years of residency training For more information about the program from a resident prospective, see the "FAQ" section under the "Applicant Information" tab. This is an attempt to answer some of these questions. Being we are still a relatively new residency, we expect you to have some questions about our program. ![]()
