VCOM College Catalog and Student Handbook

at VCOM abide by the rule, students should not engage healthcare providers who are involved in their academic assessment or promotion to ensure this does not unknowingly occur. VCOM OMS 3 and OMS 4 students may participate in rotations with healthcare providers that offer healthcare services to other VCOM students. In this case, OMS 3 and OMS 4 students may not participate in another student’s healthcare and may not view another student’s health record. In addition, if any student being treated identifies that an OMS 3 or OMS 4 student is present in the room, he or she should request the student not be involved in their care, informing the student and the physician providing the care. As the VCOM clinical training sites (physician or student) may not identify the patient as a VCOM student, it is an expectation that students seeking healthcare services in these sites identify themselves as a VCOM student.
