ACADEMIC ADVISING<br />
APPOINTMENTS WITH CLINICAL FACULTY ADVISORS<br />
Each student clinician will be assigned to a clinical faculty advisor. You may find out who you are<br />
assigned to through the registrar’s office or by checking with the clinic faculty assistant. If the student<br />
desires to change that assignment, contact the main campus registrar’s office. Advising sessions are an<br />
opportunity for students to share any suggestions or issues and to practice skills and review<br />
<strong>com</strong>petencies. Appointments may be made with your advisor in person or by email. Advisors are a<br />
resource to mentor students and supervise mini exam <strong>com</strong>petencies. If a student is at risk of failure,<br />
they are required to meet with their advisor on a regular basis as outlined in their learning contract. It<br />
is the student’s responsibility to contact the advisor and make an appointment. All the faculty members<br />
have posted office hours for student drop in visits, or will make appointments with students through<br />
email. The faculty assistant can also assist students in making appointments with faculty or with the<br />
associate clinical dean.<br />
CODE OF CO<strong>ND</strong>UCT<br />
Student clinicians are expected to function within the code of conduct expected of a professional<br />
physician. This includes awareness and integration of the standards of the profession, and honesty in<br />
their behavior and interactions with staff, patients, supervisors and colleagues. Clinicians will<br />
integrate integrity and responsibility in their interactions and uphold those standards with their<br />
supervisors and other clinicians. The practitioner will also disclose all potential conflicts of interest or<br />
potential for secondary gain that may arise during practice and patient treatment. A patient may not be<br />
referred to an outside resource that may provide benefit to the clinician or practitioner. Failure to abide<br />
by these standards will lead to sanction or even to dismissal.<br />
DOCUMENTATION<br />
TIME SHEETS<br />
•Students are responsible for having their time sheets at each shift.<br />
•Four hours is the maximum number of hours that may be counted for each shift, unless<br />
otherwise noted.<br />
•Students need to have the supervising faculty member initial the time sheet each week.<br />
•Any time missed on a shift due to absence, tardiness, or holiday will result in an IP grade<br />
<br />
for the shift. These hours will be made up with substitution or extra interim shift hours.<br />
Time Sheets must be turned in to the supervising faculty by the last day of each quarter. If a<br />
student does not submit their time sheet, the registrar will send a request to the student. If there is<br />
no response within a week, the Associate Clinical Dean or their designate will be notified. The AD<br />
or their designate will investigate whether the time sheet is held by the faculty or student. If the<br />
student has not submitted their time sheet and does not respond to the AD the registrar’s office will<br />
record an N (no Grade) grade. The financial Aid office will be notified in order to calculate<br />
whether this affects the status of the student’s financial aid. The student is required to meet with<br />
the AD or their designate to change the grade from N to IP or AC. If the student is found to be<br />
negligent in their responsibility a fee may be charged.<br />
HA<strong>ND</strong> WASHING/SANITATION<br />
The student applies proper awareness and observance of public health and sanitation rules by washing<br />
their hands, cleaning the tables and equipment before and after each exam and shift. The equipment<br />
may include lights, gynecological lights, tables, mirrors, and personal medical equipment including<br />
their stethoscope. Proper hand washing includes washing for 20 seconds, rinsing and drying the hands<br />
thoroughly. There are hand sanitation stations throughout the clinic that may be used up to two times<br />
before washing with water.<br />
