Medical students must familiarize themselves with and adhere t these prtcls during training. At n time shuld a medical student alter, remve r therwise tamper with medical recrds. Specific rules and regulatins with respect t student entries in medical recrds must be clarified during rientatin r n the first day f the clinical experience. Students must respect and fllw all plicies regarding the use f hspital facilities, husing, and equipment. All hspital equipment including library materials, pagers, and keys must be returned befre leaving a clinical experience. Students are financially respnsible fr any damage t r lss f hspital prperty. As a result, it is strngly recmmended that students btain and retain a receipt as prf that prperty was returned and/r damage was nt incurred. Special Accmmdatins Students needing special accmmdatins need t ensure that BOTH the clinical training site AND KCUMB are aware f the need fr the accmmdatin. T allw KCUMB and the clinical training site ample time t make accmmdatins, it is recmmended that the student make cntact as sn as pssible. Wrk/Call Schedule 5
The wrk and call schedule during clinical experiences is at the discretin f the cre site hspital, service and/r preceptr. Students generally fllw the same schedule as their preceptr, hwever, if the preceptr is n vacatin, r scheduled away frm the ffice/hspital, additinal arrangements must be made fr cmpletin f the clinical experience. If this ccurs, cntact yur KCUMB Student Administratr immediately. Additinal call time may be required n evenings, weekends r hlidays. Students shuld clarify wrk and call schedules during rientatin. Wrk/call scheduling impsed by KCUMB, the cre site hspital, clinical experience service r preceptr must be fllwed withut exceptin. Federal laws restricting intern/resident wrk hurs d nt apply t medical students. Medical Ethics All medical students are expected t cnduct themselves in a prfessinal manner demnstrating an awareness and cmpliance with the ethical, mral and legal values f the stepathic medical prfessin. In bserving the principles and practices f medical ethics, students will: Place primary cncern n the patient s best interests Be available t patients at all reasnable times as expected by the preceptr/cre site Perfrm medical activities nly within the limitatins f a medical student s capabilities and within the guidelines determined by the site and/r preceptr Strictly maintain patient and institutinal cnfidentiality Physical Examinatins During the third and furth-year clinical experiences, students are rutinely expected t see and examine intimate parts f patient bdies. It is necessary that all intimate examinatins f patients be apprpriately structured, supervised, and cnsented in the interests f all parties, including the patient, student and attending physician. Students must wear their KCUMB picture identificatin badge and intrduce themselves t patients as a medical student. Patient cnsents fr a student t perfrm an intimate examinatin must always be vluntary. Cnsent fr an intimate examinatin must be either verbal and/r written. Irrespective f the gender f the examining student and the patient being examined, a chaperne, defined as anther medical prfessinal, preferably the preceptr is required during all intimate examinatins. A chaperne is nt an accmpanying persn i.e. friend r relative f the patient. A chaperne, similarly, is nt anther medical student. Students are highly encuraged t recrd the date, time, and the results f the examinatin as well as the name f the chaperne in the medical recrd. PROCEDURES Absence frm Clerkship Experiences Any absence must be reprted t bth the cre site and Preceptr and the KCUMB Student Administratr prir t the start f an assigned shift. Failure t reprt an absence t the cre site r preceptr and the KCUMB Student Administratr will be cnsidered abandnment f duties and the student will face apprpriate disciplinary actin.
