AUA may have or already has a problem. According to their reports they have 150 in the 5th semester in spring and 80 in 5th that started in May. Plans are to get up to 900 students on the island. I haven't heard of any large number of new clinical spots. Many people seem to be having problems getting things booked. AUA really needs to try to expand somewhere, we don't have much in Chicago compared to the other schools that have more contracts

It's my understanding that Jackson Park Family Practice Residency is affiliated with the Chicago Medical School, which is listed on ACGME as offering Internal Medicine and Psychiatry residencies. Thus, both IM and Psych core rotations are then considered Green Book in Jackson Park (and of course the FP rotation).

Does this reasoning seem logical? Does anyone know of any other cores in Jackson Park that could be considered green book? Thanks.

The FP program is ACGME and thus that rotation is green book. The other rotations are under the "FP umbrella". There have been past threads regarding the implications of the "FP umbrella green book" and whether it may or may not cause problems in the future in some states. I believe there was a thread about Ross students having some problems getting Texas liscensure with FP umbrella rotations from Jackson Park.

The safest thing to do is only do FP at Jackson Park. You want to do ACGME cores and electives, if all possible. AUA should really work on getting an ACGME IM, Psych, Surg, Peds in Chicago. It appears AUA is really being more concerned about green book rotations. When I put in applications for electives TL said, make sure thet are green book, even though some states let you get away with blue book electives. They were University programs so it wasn't a concern. Having non green book rotations may come back to limit you in the future, so it's better just not to have to worry about it.
