In response to local, regional, and national environment related to students in the clinical workspace outside of formal curriculum, RVU has implemented a "No Shadowing" rule for all preclinical PA and COM students at both the Colorado and Utah campus locations. PA and COM students are not to directly contact a hospital or physician anywhere in the United States to seek shadowing opportunities. Failure to adhere to this rule will be considered a breach of professional conduct and will be dealt with accordingly.
