Before You Arrive

Please e-mail Dr. Irby 1 week before your start date to check in and ask about specifics regarding the 1st day of your rotation. YOU WILL NOT be provided with a schedule in advance of your 1st day. The schedule is something that will be developed with Dr. Irby on the 1st day of your rotation. Students rotating at this site are required to provide documentation of a TB test within the past year. St. Luke's requires students to have health insurance coverage and will only place students who meet this requirement.
