I have included a number of important items regarding your stay in Milwaukee, including housing. Please look over the information below and call me if you have any questions.

750 North 8th Street Bath and bed linen is supplied at the beginning of the rotation and laundry facilities are readily available. Since the linens are 'hospital variety', you may want to bring your own favorite comforter, pillow, towels, etc. You will probably want to buy food and related items once you get to Milwaukee. SPECIAL NOTE: Please be advised that pets are not allowed in the Aurora student apartments and/or in the Aurora facilities. Please make appropriate arrangements for your pets before you get to Milwaukee. A packet containing your keys, directions, and information about your housing and parking assignments will be available in the hospital Security Office, located in the Emergency Room waiting area (west side of the hospital; enter parking lot off State Street - see directions above) any time after 3:30 p.m. the Friday before you start. Please be prepared to make a $15.00 deposit (CASH NOT ACCEPTED; CHECK REQUIRED) at the time you pick up your key packet. (NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PICK UP YOUR PACKET WITHOUT SUBMITTING THIS $15.00 CHECK). You will get the check back at the end of the rotation when all ASMC property is accounted for. MealsMeals are the student's responsibility, but a thoroughly equipped kitchen is provided in your apartment (microwave, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, as well as dishes, and pots/pans). If cooking is not your strong point, a full service cafeteria is available at the hospital and there are also a number of carry-out places within a block or two of the apartment. In addition, many noon conferences at the hospital provide complimentary lunch to conference attendees. Students are also provided meal cards for each night they are on call. Milwaukee is also known for a number of great restaurants - take advantage of this while you are here. TelephonesTelephones are provided in each apartment; local calls are free but long distance is your responsibility. However, if you need to make a business call to the University, see me and we can place that from my office. Mail from the University is usually forwarded to clerkship coordinators; however, during these four weeks you may want to tell people to address mail as follows: Kathy Musack, Coordinator, Medical Students Please DO NOT have your mail actually forwarded to me through the US Post Office. This causes confusion for the hospital mailroom and will result in you possibly not receiving your mail. ParkingParking is available free of charge in a ramp located on hospital grounds. While we understand that this is away from your apartment, street parking in that area is limited and a permit from the Milwaukee Police Department is required - any parking tickets you receive are your responsibility. Details regarding parking will be in your packets. Contact InformationWe hope this information helps you prepare for coming to Milwaukee. If you have any questions, you may either call or e-mail Kathy Musack at (414) 219-7937 or kathy.musack@aurora.org. We look forward to meeting you!
