Rotation Information:
The schedule for the student's two weeks stay is very flexible. Although there are numerous options, the MSI student can choose to spend time in one specialty or several. The scheduling will, however, be in direct relationship to the various physicians schedule availability. If the student wants to spend more time with the team, that is also an option. Some students can spend time at Kettering Hospital, and others at Kettering Sycamore Hospital which is approximately 7 miles from the main campus. Also available for rotation is the Sycamore Primary Care facility. MSI students are strongly encouraged to attend morning and noon conferences or watch the televised sessions at Kettering Sycamore.
If the student needs housing, an individual apartment will be offered at no cost. All meals will be furnished and a car is available for use during the externship as well. Free parking is available and there is 24x7 access to the Medical Libary. Each student will recieve a $200 educational stipend as well as travel allowances determined by mileage from the hospital.
