Membership Benefits

RushMD
All alumni receive our semi-annual magazine, RushMD. Through this publication, the Alumni Association keeps alumni informed about the activities and events of both the Association and Rush Medical College. Our graduates and their accomplishments are featured regularly, and an honor roll of donors is included once a year. RushMD is a wonderful way to stay in touch with your classmates and the College.

Alumni Weekend
Every other year, the College welcomes its graduates back to their alma mater for a very special reunion. Alumni Day is filled with insightful presentations, tours of the Medical Center and fun, informal get-togethers. In the evening, enjoy dining, relaxing and reminiscing at the formal banquet held in downtown Chicago. What better way to get in touch with old friends and experience all the changes at the Medical Center.

Alumni Privileges in Rush’s Simulation Lab
The Rush University Simulation Laboratory (RUSL), established in 2002 thanks to a generous bequest from the estate of Mrs. Alverin M. Cornell, is a state-of-the-art simulation training center equipped with life-sized, computer controlled adult, child and baby patient simulators that enable all levels of healthcare providers to learn medical procedures in a highly realistic environment. RUSL also has skill trainers for airway and invasive line placement. But these simulators and trainers aren’t just for students — alumni are welcome to use the simulation laboratory. Special rates can be arranged for clinical refreshers in all primary and acute care specialties. Come alone or bring your team! Learn more at the RUSL Web site http://www.rushu.rush.edu/rusl/.
