For students on externship:
Current students who are on externship should continue to attend IF authorized by their externship site staff, unless:
-
They do not feel comfortable attending or are unable to attend due to childcare, finances, etc.
-
They exhibit symptoms of any illness (fever, coughing), and should not return for at least 14 days or until approved by their primary care physician.
Current students who have their externship suspended due to the COVID-19 Pandemic should communicate with their externship instructor.
-
This is an historic, unprecedented event, which has had global implications for externship placements, especially within healthcare facilities.
-
Instructors will continue to work on student placements by contacting facilities regularly and will provide an updated placement as soon as possible.
For all students:
Please note: We are awaiting guidance from various accrediting and approval agencies on measures that are authorized and what requirements, if any, are flexible or able to be adjusted due to the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
