The completed forms can be returned by fax, email, or mailed to the appropriate location (please refer to the listing following each hospital's Medical Student Information Form listed below). We recommend you follow-up with the appropriate Coordinator to ensure your paperwork has been received and processed.

 FORMS

1. Medical Student Information Form (MSIF)

This form must be completed in its entirety for EVERY rotation scheduled at any Advocate Hospital/Medical Center.

• Lutheran General Hospital
• Christ Medical Center
• Illinois Masonic Medical Center

2. Confidentiality Statement

This statement must accompany the MSIF for EVERY Advocate rotation scheduled. This statement must be completed in its entirety, including your Social Security Number, Department, Start and End dates.

3. Medical and Immunization Clearance Form

All Advocate Hospital/Medical Centers need to have your most current TB and Health History information on file at all times. Please complete the Medical and Immunization Clearance Form. The student is required to sign the form to verify the accuracy of the information. Please note:

Your TB information must be current within one calendar year of the rotation start date. If your TB test expires during your rotation you are required to get an updated test prior to the rotation start date. If your current TB test was positive, proof of a negative chest x-ray or medical clearance is required. If you have had a positive TB test in the past, a screening questionnaire completed within one year of your scheduled rotation is sufficient for clearance.

Orientation start times vary for every department. Please contact the appropriate Medical Student Coordinator listed on the MSIF for the Hospital/Medical Center where you are rotating for the specific date and start time of your orientation.
