22.2. Fairness in Clinical Assignments

All clinical placements and clerkships that are arranged by clinical faculty will be assigned in a neutral and non-discriminatory fashion, without regard to a student’s gender, race, sexual orientation, religious preference, or ethnicity.  On occasion the Program does receive requests from preceptors for students with a particular type of professional experience or language skill and the faculty will attempt to accommodate their desires while adhering to our fairness policy. Placements are always at the discretion of the Director of Clinical Education and the reasoning may not be apparent or shared publicly.
