The Program is responsible for ensuring proper and adequate education of all its students on clinical rotations. The Program engages in a robust and ongoing evaluation of each Preceptor and clinical site to ensure that each Preceptor and site can meet Program expectations for student learning and performance evaluation measures. RVU clinical faculty routinely visit each active clinical site to assess the site, Preceptors, and students. These visits may be announced or unannounced. If at any time a site or Preceptor is deemed inadequate, the Program may remove current students from the rotation and will not schedule future students until the site is re-evaluated and found acceptable.
If a student believes there is a problem with a site or a Preceptor, the student must contact the Director of Clinical Education either via:
- the mid-rotation questionnaire that is designed to evaluate potential concerns,
- phone (if emergent),
- or email if non-emergent.
The Director of Clinical Education will contact the student for additional information and enact protocols to further evaluate the site and/or Preceptor.
