These courses are competency-based. Competency is defined as accurately performing procedures on a consistent basis, not just once. Each rotation requires that the student attend the scheduled days to attain competency in the rotation. Competencies will be achieved if at the completion of the scheduled rotation all required experiences are acceptable and the scheduled number of required clinical days during these rotations is completed. These are the requirements needed to achieve the grade of an“ A.” If the student is unable to attend a scheduled clinical day for reason of illness, they will have the opportunity to electively complete the required days during that semester. These days can be completed during scheduled time off which occur periodically during the semester rotations; however, the time cannot be scheduled when the University is closed. If the student elects to complete the required scheduled days of practice during this rotation, it must be done prior to the start of the next semester.
