Thanks for the information, Dana! I think I'm going to use Rush employee health when I get to Chicago in early August. That sounds way easier. I've been looking at stethoscopes, etc and getting an idea of what I want. But, I'm going to wait too. I heard from students at other schools that they have company reps that offer student pricing. I would imagine Rush would do the same. Now just have to be patient until Aug 27, which is hard since I've been working toward this for 3 1/2 years...

Nice to meet you Genevieve! I'm moving to Chicago from Omaha, NE. Although Chicago is my hometown, I haven't lived there in a while. I'll be in a condo in Lakeview. Are you going to live in Rush apartments? I look forward to meeting you. Best of luck on the move. AnneMarie

@ Fall 2012 cohort: Have you found what we need to purchase for equipment, scrubs, etc.? Or will that be part of orientation? I've had some people tell me to go and buy a stethoscope and others say to wait to get Rush's requirements. Also, @ Dana, are you an employee at Rush? Is that required to use their Employee Health? I don't want to use my MD as my insurance doesn't cover...

Hi Dana, I think I found you on Facebook...did you attend Michigan State? Hope so or else I've attempted to friend some random person... AnneMarie

I was just out here looking for a way to find the others in the Fall GEM 2012 cohort. It doesn't look like anyone has started a facebook group - I would do it if I knew anyone else . I'm happy to say that I'm in for the Fall and looking forward to meeting everyone else. Did anyone attend the June Faculty Tea and how was it? I'm planning on attending the August Tea. Also, have you received any info about class schedules? Start date? I heard informally from Molly that orientation is on Aug 27. But, I've received NOTHING except the forms via email. I'm moving back to Chicago this summer and really looking forward to this program and coming home. AnneMarie
