Attendance

 i. ATTENDANCE

It is expected that students arrive to the unit ready for work promptly at the start of their assigned workday. If you are running late you are required to call your assigned rotation area and Clinical Faculty.  Chronic lateness is unacceptable and may be required to be made up. 

There are two 15-minute breaks: one in morning and one in the afternoon and there is a 30 minute lunch break. Please take breaks during the working day, do NOT bank your break for the end of the day and expect to go home early.

Students are asked to sign up for shifts and to keep unit staff informed of their whereabouts if they are attending rounds or if they are on break/lunch. CP 2/3 learners maintain QA competency with a minimum of one warm-up shift, maximum of two, per week. Please display your schedule on the white board, as well as speak to the staff about your commitments.

Attendance for all scheduled clinical time and activities is mandatory. Students in RADTH 460 & 461 are allotted two discretionary days per term and RADTH 260 students are allotted one half day, which do not require remediation. These are not transferable term to term.  Students must not take discretionary days on clinical days where scheduled events such as tutorials, workshops or presentations are occurring. Anticipated absences, including use of discretionary days, should be discussed with the Clinical Faculty and must be approved prior to the absence in order to be considered acceptable.

Students must advise their Clinical Faculty at the beginning of the clinical practicum of religious holiday dates that may cause that student to miss clinical time. While students are not penalized because of religious holiday observance, clinical sites will not reschedule patient procedures or shifts to accommodate for students.

Any time missed is recovered within the standard time frame of the clinical practicum, in order for the student to complete the requirements of the clinical practicum course. Exclusions are at the discretion of Clinical Faculty.
