Location and Transportation

The Evanston site is within 10 -15 minutes walking distance from the Evanston campus. Students will make their own way to the Evanston site.

Should additional opportunities arise at the Glenview Outpatient Clinic, participants will be provided with a $250 travel stipend to help offset their travel cost. Depending on traffic, the journey may take between 30-50 minutes each way. All students, regardless of site location, should plan to arrive at their respective clinical sites at least 15 minutes prior to their start time.
