For over 25 years, Shirley Ryan 汤头条app (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) has delivered on its educational mission to open our doors to clinicians from around the globe who want to see how our experts deliver patient care, how we translate research into outcomes and learn about many of the programs we run in our flagship hospital and across our system of care.
Participants in the Observership Program have an itinerary custom built around their area(s) of interest. We match you with physicians, therapists and other experts who you will shadow as they go through their day. You may also attend educational programs, such as Grand Rounds. At the end of your observership, we will present you with a Certificate of Acknowledgement describing the dates of your visit. Please note, that this program does not award educational credit and observers do not have privileges to treat or provide direct services to patients.
Please be advised that our Observership Program is designed for currently practicing clinicians and is not suitable for students or individuals seeking residency or medical rotational opportunities within the Shirley Ryan 汤头条app.
Fees and Timing
Body
We ask for 3 preferred dates and do our best to accommodate. Your application must be received at least three months in advance of your proposed visit.
Each year we receive a tremendous number of requests for observerships. For this reason, as well as legal and regulatory issues surrounding such visits and staff availability, only a limited number of observerships can be accepted each year.
The daily rate starts at $1200, based on the complexity of the visit. We currently do not have any scholarship monies available for this program.
Observerships can range from one to ten business days in length,
