Students are advised to read the general University regulations regarding attendance (see E.3) in the section of this Calendar headed Academic Regulations.
Students may be required to complete clinical experience at sites other than the location of their residence. Students' clinical experience may also be scheduled at various hours, including evenings, nights and weekends, Monday through Sunday. Medical Doctor students are responsible for all travel, parking and accommodation costs related to clinical experiences except for University of Calgary Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (UCLIC) students.
Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance as delineated in the objectives of the course. Participation in all activities that involve patients is mandatory.
Failure to fully participate in clinical sessions will be reviewed by the faculty members teaching the course. Students are advised that evaluation will be based in large measure on their day-to-day performance.
Students who miss one or more clinical days, must comply with the Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) attendance policies. In general, make up time is required.
An instructor may prohibit a student from attending or completing a clinical experience if there is evidence that the student has acted in a manner that is detrimental to patient care or that patient safety is at risk. The Associate Dean will be consulted or informed about any such situation or action. A student who wishes to appeal such a decision will follow the appeals process as outlined in 5.8 Appeals Process.
