Introduction


September 2019

Dear Students,

On behalf of the Office of Medical Student Programs, I welcome you to Rush Medical College (RMC). We strive to provide an intellectually and socially vibrant campus that offers a safe and supportive environment for all students. The following is a tool to help maintain this environment. The RMC Student Guidebook describes the privileges and responsibilities granted to our students. It is important for you to take time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this guidebook, as it is designed to acquaint you with the specifics of the standards expected of you as a member of the Rush community, and it consolidates information from many sources on topics ranging from academic processes to student services. In addition, RMC students must adhere to all Rush University (RU) standards which are found in the RU Catalog.

Please note that the information provided, such as the regulations and policies articulated in this guidebook, is not intended to be all-inclusive and does not constitute a contract. RMC reserves the right at any time to add to, modify, or revoke any of its regulations and policies, including those in the guidebook, without notice.

Please let us know if you have any questions. On behalf of all us at RMC, we are glad to have you as a part of the Rush family.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth A Baker, MD
Senior Associate Dean
