Housing and Transportation for Clerkships at Stamford

← MCY
Housing will be arranged for all students doing a clerkship at Stamford Hospital. Stamford will send an onboarding packet with information regarding housing, credentialing, EMR training, and much more. Please make sure you return required information in a timely manner.

TRANSPORTATION AT THE START AND END OF THE CLERKSHIP

Lyft

You will receive access to a Lyft account to go to/from Stamford at the beginning and the end of the clerkship. Students from each clerkship (OB, Primary Care Surgery) travel together. Plan to bring all your belongings on the first day of your rotation. No early move-ins are allowed. For Lyft questions please open a Uservoice ticket

Driving

Driving to Stamford is not recommended as there is no parking available at the student housing.  If a student brings a car they have to find street parking.   

TRANSPORTATION DURING THE CLERKSHIP

If you travel back to NYC on weekends using Metro North, you can get reimbursed at the end of the clerkship. When you return to Stamford there is a shuttle from the train station to the hospital (shuttle information will be provided by Stamford).

PLEASE NOTE: Surgery and OB/GYN students must be ready to round at 6:00am on Mondays. This makes traveling back to Stamford on Mondays difficult as the first shuttle will arrive at the hospital at 6:50am. Please plan to return to Stamford the day prior or make alternative arrangements that will ensure that you are present at the hospital on time. Primary Care students start at 8:30am.

REIMBURSEMENT FOR METRO NORTH TICKETS

At the end of the clerkship, submit receipts for reimbursement via Uservoice. Please note that you must submit ticket receipts (credit card statements are not sufficient).
