Loyola School of Medicine
The Loyola School of Medicine operated in this building at 706 South Wolcott until the school moved to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood.
In the 1930s, medical students at Loyola did not specialize in an area of study. Instead, all students fulfilled credits in the same specialties and even completed their clinical rotations in the same set of hospitals. Students spent four years attending classes and clinical rotations, then a fifth year assigned to a hospital as an intern. Faculty invited advanced students interested in surgery to join the Moorhead Surgical Seminar, where they would discuss medical papers and new surgical techniques. The School of Medicine operated at the Wolcott location, with internships and rotations at affiliated hospitals around Chicago, until the 1969 opening of the Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.
