FLEX DAYS
Students will be able to take two personal/flex days during this clerkship with no impact on their rotation. These need to be requested in advance through Cally (use waffle menu to navigate).
Flex days should not be taken on the first day of the clerkship or on the scheduled days of the MCQ/OSCE.
Any additional time required may need a discussion with the clerkship coordinator to ensure the objectives for the rotation are met. Using flex or personal days will not change the requirements for call shifts, or the need to meet the learning objectives for the clerkship.
OTHER ABSENCES
If you are absent for any other reason, please submit an absence request through Cally (use waffle menu to navigate), notify your preceptor and notify the Program Administrator on medugme@ualberta.ca.
**If you are unexpectedly unwell for a call shift, it is your responsibility to find coverage and notify the site admin, Dr. Lee and Amanda.
WHAT IF I AM UNWELL?

Report absence via Cally (use waffle menu to navigate).
Contact your site preceptor with a copy to the clerkship coordinator (rebecca4@ualberta.ca) and program administrator (medugme@ualberta.ca) as soon as possible.
