Attendance Standards

To thrive in the Medical Education program, active participation is critical. A lack of attendance for any reason does not absolve you from the responsibility of the material covered in your absence. Students must notify their course and/or clerkship director, and small group preceptor about any anticipated or sudden absence from required patient and didactic responsibilities. You must make sure to have your appropriate phone, email, and/or pager numbers available during your absence. Absences longer than two days require a written doctor’s statement to Student Affairs.
