*Students please DO NOT complete any of these hospital specific instructions until you receive an email from the department notifying you of your specific clinical placement day/time and instructor.*
ACTION STEP #1: Complete CCPS (Centralized Clinical Placement System)
Students NEW to CCPS
In the top right click "login/register" and register as a new student user with your @maine.edu account.
The site will guide you through completing four education modules. Each module consists of information to read and then a module quiz. These modules may take you several hours to complete, but you can leave and return, doing this in smaller chunks of time if you need to. You must complete all four module quizzes.
Once you have completed all four module quizzes see a page with a blue box at the bottom. In the blue box click on "click here to add an assignment to the list".
Fill in the information about your clinical assignment. You can leave the "click here if this is a precepted assignment" box empty. Then submit the form.
Now you will see a page with CMMC specific information. At the bottom of the page highlighted in yellow is a link "Central Maine Medical Center". Click on it.
You can now read all of the CMMC specific documents.
IMPORTANT: at the bottom of the CMMC page there is an acknowledgment and checkbox you must submit to indicate you have reviewed all the documents. Submitting this will generate a "ticket" of completion that shows you've finished CCPS for that facility.
You do not need to print or save this ticket. USM can see who has them in CCPS from our end of things.
Action Step #2 below lists the documents you'll need to fill out and submit to USM.

In the blue box choose "click here to add an assignment to the list".

IGNORE proof of vaccination if you are in a placement outside of that timeframe.

PARKING: No permit is needed but students must park in Lot S across from the parking garage. There is a map in the CCPS CMMC documents.
