126 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD)—Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Program 2024–2025 Process for Requesting an Alternative Site Assignment Preclerkship Curriculum The current process for requesting an alternative site is presenting to students at the start of each semester. The process will generally involve the following: • Students are assigned to preceptors by administration. • Within a predetermined time frame, the requesting student may request to switch with another student, by submitting a timely (by the announced deadline) request for a switch in writing (email), including required information (e.g., names of the students switching, the resulting new preceptor assignments as a result of the switch). • The nonrequesting student must be copied on the email and must also reply that they agree with the switch by the deadline, or the request will not be considered. Clerkship Curriculum Rising M3 students are able to submit their preferences for clerkship track options before track assignments are made. Final track assignments are made using an algorithm with oversight from the NSU MD Office of Curricular Affairs. During a designated time period, immediately following track assignments, students may request a mutually agreeable track swap. Peer-to-peer exchanges will be generally accepted if 1) requested within the provided time frame and prior to the established deadline and 2) there are no perceived or actual conflicts associated with the newly assigned site. For requests received past the deadline, the only formal criterion for such a change is the situation in which a supervising physician at a site has/had a role in providing medical care to the student or has/ had a personal relationship with the student. See the Policy on Recusal from Academic Evaluation of Students by Faculty Members section below. Other requests for rotation, preceptor, or site reassignment due to unique or extenuating circumstances may be made to the assistant dean of Clerkship Curriculum. Requests for any reason, other than required recusal, will require the professional judgment of administration and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The determination of the assistant dean of Clerkship Curriculum may be appealed to the executive associate dean of Academic and Student Affairs, whose decision will be final. Policy on Recusal from Academic Evaluation of Students by Faculty Members It is the policy of NSU MD that faculty members • who provide health, medical, or psychiatric/psychological services to a student • who have a close personal or familial relationship with a student
