124 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD)—Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Program 2024–2025 Principles and Procedures on Student Supervision in Clinical Settings Responsibility of Course and Clerkship Directors • Course and clerkship directors are responsible for ensuring that students are appropriately supervised at all times when assigned to clinical settings. • Course and clerkship directors, with assistance of facility administrative personnel, must keep accurate and up-to-date rosters of program-supervising faculty members, and will promptly notify NSU MD of any proposed new supervising faculty member(s), ensuring that the new faculty member(s) have been formally appointed as NSU MD faculty before students are supervised. • Course and clerkship directors are responsible for knowing these policies, principles, and procedures and ensuring they are followed. Responsibility of (On-site) Supervising Faculty Members • Supervising faculty members are responsible for the supervision of all medical students assigned to their clinical service. − Supervising faculty members must be knowledgeable about the curricular requirements of the course/clerkship in which NSU MD students are enrolled, including the required clinical encounters and their expected level of engagement. − Supervising faculty members are responsible for understanding and abiding by NSU MD’s determination of the appropriate degree of involvement/participation by the student and the level of supervision that each student should have when providing patient care in a clinical learning environment. − If a clinical site and/or supervisor is responsible for also supervising students from other LCME-accredited programs, DO-granting programs, or other health education program, the supervising physician must be familiar with—and apply—the learning objectives and assessment system of the NSU MD program to NSU MD students. • Supervision and teaching of medical students may be delegated by the supervising faculty member to resident physicians and other health care providers only to the extent that the contemplated student activity is within the scope of practice of the supervisor. • The supervising faculty member has medical and legal responsibility for the patient’s care and is ultimately responsible for patient evaluation and management. Levels of Supervision Direct—The supervising faculty member, or designee, is physically present with the medical student and the patient (required for all procedures). Indirect Supervision with Direct Supervision Immediately Available—The supervising faculty member, or designee, is physically present at the clinical site and is immediately available to provide direct supervision. The supervisor may not be engaged in activities which would delay the supervisor’s response to a student requiring direct supervision. Oversight—The supervising faculty member is available to provide review of encounters and provide feedback after care is delivered.
