Elective Rotations
To Non-McGaw Institution
- To initiate an elective rotation request to a non-McGaw institution, submit non-McGaw elective paperwork to Jadrianna Sobczak no less than 120 days prior to the proposed start date of the planned rotation.
- Trainees on international elective rotations are required to obtain, at their own expense, and provide proof of an individual GeoBlue supplementary health insurance policy with minimum medical coverage of $1,000,000. McGaw residents and fellows are not eligible to enroll in Northwestern University’s plan which is solely coordinated for students.
- Trainees must monitor the U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory Levels. Travel to Level 4 locations will not be considered. Travel to Level 3 locations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are generally discouraged. McGaw reserves the right to withdraw rotation approval at any time if a site’s advisory level increases. Trainees are strongly advised to purchase travel insurance, as McGaw will not reimburse costs if rotation approval is withdrawn.
- Any travel to an external site for greater than 31 days requires approval of the McGaw president.
