CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020
162 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Health Science 2019–2020 • Time keeping: Time keeping during clinical externship is completed through the clinical reporting system, Trajecsys. The student will be given instructions on the use of the system during the Clinical Introduction course prior to the first day in the clinical externship site. Any student believed to be tampering with or manipulating the cloAbck-in, clock-out, or documentation process will be sent to the Committee on Student Progress and may be subject to disciplinary action for unethical and unprofessional behavior including, but not limited to, receiving a failing grade for the clinical rotation. • Clinical extension of program: If, for any reason, the student does not fulfill the requirements for clinical externships (BMS 4500, 4600, and 4700), the program has the authority to extend the student’s clinical externships, which may result in additional cost to the student. Please also refer to the section on Academic Promotions and Progression. Electronic Communication Electronic communication, including faxes and electronic mail, must adhere to the university policy. The use of cellular phones and other unauthorized electronic devices are not permitted during the lectures or lab sessions. Students may be requested to step out of the auditorium or the laboratory if the student uses a cellular phone or any other unauthorized electronic device without authorization from the instructor. Recurrent behavior will be referred to the Committee on Student Progress for unprofessional behavior. Clinical Site Requirements Students in off-site clinical sites will be required to comply with all the special requirements of the facility. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, fingerprinting, proof of vaccinations, proof of insurance, and so on. The college does not assume any responsibility, other than informing the student of the requirements. The student must fully comply with all requirements of the specific facility before participating in any activities at that facility. Failure to be eligible to participate in activities at an assigned facility may result in the student not being allowed to complete that clinical experience; in that case, the student will be reassigned to another clinical rotation, if possible. Students may be videotaped in certain academic classes and clinical labs for teaching-learning purposes. Students must sign a release form for videotaping at the time of registration. Students should obtain permission from instructors to videotape or audiotape lectures. Verbal permission is acceptable. Training Laboratory 1. Foreword: Most of the core sonography courses in the program have been developed to include a large and crucial hands-on training component in the program’s ultrasound training laboratory. This model offers a considerable benefit to the learning process of technical skills before students start clinical externships during the second year of study. The program strives to expose the students to state-of-the-art equipment for the acquisition of these skills. The program also ensures that the environment in the ultrasound training laboratory is safe. Extracurricular lab sessions are mandatory as they are oriented to refine technical skills and prepare students for their clinical externships. Attendance and participation during these sessions will be considered when assigning clinical sites for externships.
