  
E-mail
Contact will be made with students through electronic mail (e-mail). All students
are expected to check regularly for messages on e-mail as time permits.
Absences
If you become ill or you must be absent from your duties for any other reason,
even for one day, please notify your faculty and housestaff preceptors, as well
as your site coordinator. In the event of extended absences, you must consult
with the Director and Coordinator of the Clerkship. An absence of three days
or longer during the rotation will result in an incomplete grade unless the absence
is approved ahead of time by the Clerkship Director. Also see Absentee Policy.
Professional Conduct
As you become an integral member of the health care team, your degree of interaction
with patients will often equal or even exceed that of the more senior members
of your team. Accordingly, professional decorum is expected of you as well
as of other team members. On-time attendance for all rounds, conferences
and other scheduled activities is expected unless patient care activities
are more pressing. You are expected to wear clean white coats and your UNC
ID at all times. Men must wear shirt and tie; women should be comparably
attired. You may change into scrubs in the evening on call days at the discretion
of your ward team. Please change back into street clothes the following morning.
Most importantly, you must always interact with patients, families, staff
and colleagues in a professional and caring manner. Difficulties with appropriate
professional conduct can and will be reflected in your final grade .
