Question

As you begin your clinical rotation, can you tell me what you expect from your clinical site?

Answer 1

 Comply with all site-specific requirements and policies regarding all clinical sites the Preceptor works in

 To maintain open communication with the Preceptor eliciting and accepting feedback regarding clinical performance strengths and weaknesses

 To successfully complete the requirements of the rotation outlined in the course syllabus. It is not possible nor expected that the student be exposed to each entity or problem listed during their rotations; however it is the student’s responsibility to ensure knowledge about all the objectives for each discipline.

 To act professionally in the clinical setting including wearing proper identification, complying with dress code standards and conducting oneself with professional and ethical demeanor at all times.

 To report to the clinical site on time, fully prepared to work with all necessary equipment (i.e.stethoscope,etc.) and ready to learn and work with the Preceptor

 To meet with the Preceptor at the beginning of clinical rotations and periodically throughout rotations to discuss mutual goals and expectations for the rotation.

 To contact the Program immediately with any questions or concerns about the student’s role at a site. Students shall not treat and discharge a patient from care without the patient being seen by the clinical Preceptor. All patients must be seen by a licensed provider PRIOR to leaving the facility

 To accrue the number of hours for each rotation required by the program and to be sensitive to the schedule of the clinical site/Preceptor. Students are expected to work nights, weekends and be on-call if required by the clinical rotation site/Preceptor.
