DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS
It is up to each individual to follow this code. The clinical faculty, Dean and Associate Dean, or their
designee, will respond to incidences of non-adherence to this dress code on a case-by-case basis.
Violations of the dress code can result in the following:
For a first offense, students receive a written warning and can be sent home for the shift. If sent home,
this shift will count as an unexcused absence. Students will lose all hours and patient contacts for that
day’s shift.
For a second offense, a student will be sent home and fail the shift.
REGISTERING FOR SHIFTS/ROTATIONS
The following information pertains to all students registering for clinic shifts at the Bastyr Center for
Natural Health. For program-specific shift registration requirements, please see the respective Student
Clinician Handbook module for your program.
Bastyr University utilizes two-quarter scheduling. Clinic shift and didactic course registration is
completed for all clinic-eligible students for summer/fall and winter/spring.
Clinicians have the opportunity to request supervisors for their clinical shifts. While every effort will
be made to meet these requests, there are no guarantees that these requests will be met.
Each clinician may be assigned at least one, and could be assigned more, Saturday shifts during each
year of their clinical training. Exception will be made for clinicians who have religious obligations that
prevent their working on Saturday. Primary clinicians are required to enroll in external/offsite shifts as
outlined by their respective program, unless they do not meet requirements. Should a new offsite shift
become available after clinical assignments, the clinic Associate Registrar reserves the right to move
clinicians to the new location, as long as it does not cause any undue time conflicts with didactic
courses, or violate the religious restrictions described above. In addition the clinic Associate Registrar
reserves the right to alter student clinical shift schedules during the year.
It is the responsibility of the student to turn in his or her registration form by the posted deadline. If
registration forms are received after deadlines, shift assignments can be affected and late fees will be
assessed.
SPECIALTY SHIFTS/ROTATIONS
The following are considered specialty shifts, and requests by the clinician are required if he or she is
interested in being assigned to a shift:
ND Clinics:
Diabetes and Cardiovascular Health – Students must send a short email to Dr. Ryan Bradley and/or Dr.
Natalie Freedman explaining why they are interested in participating in this shift. Additional reading
and work outside of the shift time is required, and the shift requires an additional 30 minutes
attendance time due to patient schedule requirements. Additional clinical credit may not be given for
this extra time.
Homeopathy – This rotation is open to both primary and secondary students. Students may request a
two-quarter block or a single quarterly shift. Permission from the Chair of Homeopathy is necessary
for clinicians who wish to pursue the study of homeopathy further and is dependent on space
availability.
