General information for students: All outpatient students are sent an introductory letter that includes information about placement, clinical instructor and health requirements approximately 6 weeks prior to start date. Outpatient students are not required to attend orientation at our main campus, but will be required to complete orientation tasks at their affiliation site. Students have the opportunity to attend a student luncheon that is sponsored monthly at the main campus during which time they can opt to spend the day observing at the hospital. Also, observation of surgery, and shadowing physicians can be arranged.

Resources available: Students may access textbooks and resource material at each site. Also, most sites have internet access and access to a variety of medical journals through our libraries. Students have the opportunity to observed specialized clinicians at other sites as time permits.
