Illness or Injury During a Rotation

Students are responsible for their own health and safety while in practice facilities/rotation sites. The program director will provide the student with the contact information of their preceptors before beginning the rotation. Students are responsible for contacting their preceptors and should do so at least two weeks before the rotation begins. The onboarding procedure may be extensive at some rotation sites (i.e., clinical settings); thus, it is advisable for the student to contact the preceptor at least one month in advance in those settings. Students will be responsible for completing all health screens or immunizations required by the facility and upload all documentation to CastleBranch prior to the start date. Some vaccinations and testing (e.g., TB) may require a booster and/or a 2nd reading. Students should be aware of these instances and plan accordingly.

Students are required to carry health insurance and should upload a copy of their health insurance card or policy in CastleBranch prior to the start of the program. Some rotation sites require a 10-panel drug test, which includes marijuana. This may be scheduled and results uploaded through CastleBranch.
