ATTENDANCE

The program is designed so that each successive practice experience builds on those before. Therefore, attendance is an important factor in the provision of a high quality Program.

Interns are expected to attend all rotations and classes. If an intern is ill and unable to attend, s/he will notify the Rotation Preceptor of the absence. It is expected that absences will be made up in order for the intern to complete the required learning experiences. All required hours in each rotation must be completed before passing the rotation. The internship does not have sick days.

If the facility requires a written explanation of a long absence or a medical release to return to practice after an illness, the intern is responsible to provide such a note to the preceptor.

Excessive absences will require extension of the Program and may lead to dismissal from the Program. See policy: Leave of Absence.
