V. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

1. In case of emergency or illness, the student is expected to notify the faculty member as early as possible prior to the scheduled clinical experience.

2. Clinical Absences: lost clinical classes should be made-up within 2 weeks.

 

POLICY FOR CLINICAL ABSENCES

Because attendance in clinical laboratories is extremely important and the number of days is limited, there should be no absences for clinical labs. The following provisions for makeup are as follows:

For the first absence and permission of the instructor, the student will complete a clinical make-up paper. Any additional absences will result in an unsatisfactory in the course.

1.     Clinical conferences are considered an essential component of the clinical experience and attendance is required.  Students are expected to budget time to allow for prompt attendance at conferences.  Students are evaluated on participation in conferences.

2.     Students are expected to be present, on time, and prepared for all scheduled clinical experiences. Specific expectations regarding clinical preparation follow. 

3.     Faculty reserves the right to deny clinical access or to consider clinical performance unsatisfactory at any time during the rotation if a student is determined to be unprepared with pre-clinical assignments. Please refer to policy for Unsafe Clinical Practice in student handbook.

4.     For some pediatric settings, street clothes are appropriate.  The student is expected to select professional dress consistent with expectations of the facility.  For all others the uniform is required.  One exception for the pediatric areas is the addition of colored or patterned jackets or aprons over a uniform which otherwise adheres to previously stated regulations.  This modification is not required, but is permitted if the student so desires.

5.     It is the responsibility of the student to inform the faculty member of any circumstance that warrants the extension of special accommodations in the clinical settings.

6.     All written work must be completed and submitted as scheduled in order to pass the course; although not all written assignments in the course may be computed in the final course grade. Additional assignments and guidelines may be distributed at the discretion of the faculty.

7.     The Final Clinical Examination will be comprehensive and derived from the objectives of the course.  Specific learning to be evaluated is contained in the guidelines for each experience.  Format of the exam will include multiple choice, short answer, and essay, and safe dosage calculation.
