26. Student Responsibilities
To be eligible to begin any clinical clerkship, students must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite coursework, demonstrate professional conduct in prior academic and clinical learning experiences, have a cumulative GPA of 3.0, and pass the cumulative preclinical written and practical examination at the end of the first year.
Students must also meet all additional program, Institute, and clinical facility requirements for entering a specific clinical clerkship. Failure to comply with required onboarding deadlines and documentation will result in a Notification of Concern and possible clerkship delay. These requirements include:
- Registering for the clerkship course and paying all tuition and fees. No student may begin a clerkship until cleared by the Student Accounts Manager as having met all financial responsibilities.
- Maintaining compliance with Institute health status and immunization requirements, CPR/ACLS certification, and HIPAA and OSHA training requirements.
