You will be assigned to various clinics throughout the clerkship. During your general and colorectal rotations you will be assigned by the clerkship coordinator to clinics. These will include General, Colorectal, Vascular, Otolaryngology, Ortho and Breast. Make sure that you check the clinic calendars located in each student lounge for the specific nature of the clinic you will be attending. Colorectal, Vascular, Musculoskeletal, Otolaryngology and Breast all have mandatory clinic modules you must view on Blackboard prior to participating in the clinic. The clinic modules contain multiple choice questions that must be answered correctly at the end of each module. The faculty have developed these modules to help you prepare for the clinic experience therefore if you are not prepared for your clinic you can expect to be asked to leave. All clinic activities must be recorded on the logbook online form.
It is important to be on time.  If you must be late for a clinic it is a good idea to call ahead to let the physician and his staff know. Office phone numbers and clinic locations are listed in your student room and pocket handbooks.  It is the student's responsibility to check out the location prior to the clinic day.
