Information For Prospective Students
With match day fast approaching, we are looking forward to the next application cycle! We offer audition rotations at our base hospital, Franciscan St. James in Olympia Fields, for 4 week periods. The rotation is split between Dr. Payne and Dr. Mehl’s. There is ample time to be involved in clinic, the OR, and resident educational sessions.
The rotation also includes being involved in the weekly Wednesday didactics with education lectures, fracture conferences, and occasionally scheduled industry sponsored events (i.e. sawbones, system demonstrations, instrument education, etc). Students will actively participate.
