Illnesses & Off-Campus Absences

If you are ill, notify your team no later that 7:00 a.m. You must also notify the nurse instructor. Failure to notify all of the proper individuals will be considered unexcused and will be reflected on the end of clerkship final evaluation. The Clerkship Director and Dean of Students will be notified if any student is absent. Off-campus absences (due to family illness, official school events, etc.) must be approved in advance. Be sure to inform the Nurse Instructor so she can make the appropriate changes in your schedules. The expectation is that students will have 100% attendance.
