26.7. Travel

Students are responsible for all travel to and from clinical education experiences. This includes long distance travel (e.g. out-of-state) and/or local travel (e.g. daily or weekly travel). Many clinical education facilities are not accessible by public transportation. Every student should anticipate needing access to a reliable car during the clinical education component of the curriculum. Students assigned to the same facility for a clerkship are encouraged to share travel resources when possible. Arranging travel and negotiating ride sharing are student responsibilities.  Students are responsible for contacting the facility and/or using the Internet to seek information regarding directions and transportation to the facility.
