Institutional Excellence, Policy, and Resources
The Stritch School of Medicine is anchored by a commitment to community excellence.
Guided by Loyola’s Catholic Jesuit mission, values, and pursuit of The Greater Good, we strive to promote an environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are further reinforced to foster a culture of respect and sense of belonging for all.
Through the cultivation of positive self-regard, and positive relationships with one another, Stritch physicians-in-training, faculty, and staff collectively create an enriching community for the study and practice of medicine.

Student Basic Needs Support
We recognize that some students experience various forms of economic hardship such as food and housing insecurity. Loyola's CURA Network serves as a central support hub, linking students directly to community resources (e.g., LUC food pantries, CARE Funds, and more).
First-Generation, Low-Income Support Committee
The First-Generation, Low-Income (FGLI or "fly") Support Committee works to create support systems and communities for all persons who share experiences being the first in their family to attend college and/or from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Workshops, mentorship programs, and general advocacy for FGLI student needs are just a few ways that this community uplifts their peers.
Immigrant Health Committee
The Immigrant Health Committee (IHC) at Stritch aims to advocate with and for the immigrant and undocumented communities in Chicago. IHC鈥檚 primary goal is to equip current and future health professionals with the tools, language, and cultural sensitivity to work alongside and care for our immigrant patients. Moreover, IHC aims to meet the growing needs of Stritch DACA students and allies.
Stritch Pride
Stritch Pride represents LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer) students at the Stritch School of Medicine and their allies. They work with faculty, staff, and other student organizations to promote a diverse, inclusive, and equitable school environment and to raise awareness of health issues relevant to LGBTQ+ populations.
Student Wellness Advisory Group (SWAG)
The Student Wellness Advisory Group, or "SWAG," acts as the liaison between the student body and administration with a goal of ensuring the holistic wellness of Stritch's diverse student body. Multifaceted programs, advocacy, and awareness for wellness concerns are some ways this group advocates for the students.
HSC Wellness Center
The Wellness Center, located on the health sciences campus, is a space provided to students where they can learn about and maintain the many facets of their personal wellness. Through many programs, organizations, and services, the Wellness Center aims to provide all the necessary resources that students need to thrive in their educational journey.
Stritch Immersion Program
The Stritch Immersion Program (SIP) is a free, 16-day program designed to provide students with enriching opportunities to adjust to the academic, social, and environmental aspects of the medical school, Health Sciences Campus, and broader Maywood community.
The Stritch School of Medicine is anchored by a commitment to community excellence.
