CE9. Clinical Facility Policies and Procedures
Students must meet all pre-clinical requirements and adhere to all clinical site policies and procedures. Failure to comply with site requirements may impact the start date of a clinical experience or the right to participate in the clinical experience, and may result in termination of the clinical experience and a grade of F in the clinical education course. A serious breach of clinic policy will be considered a breach of professional behavior and subject to the process/actions in AP7-Professional Behavior Actions.
Examples of clinical site requirements include, but are not limited to:
- Health requirements
- Criminal background checks and fingerprinting
- Drug testing
- Pre-clinical orientation
- Dress code
- Conduct/Professional Behavior
- Facility policies and procedures; sites will inform students of the relevant policies and procedures
As referenced in GI2-Conditions of Enrollment, clinical sites may have health and safety-related requirements beyond the standards for continued matriculation established by the MGH Institute.
