VCOM College Catalog and Student Handbook

o The requirement to repeat a rotation may also affect the student’s ability to obtain financial aid on time if in the first half of the year. o Depending upon the student’s notification of Clinical Affairs and the reason for not showing up for a rotation, the Associate Dean may request the Dean convene a Professional and Ethics Standards Board. • The Director of OMS 4 Clinical Rotations will then notify the student as to the approval or disapproval of the request. Notice of Site/Rotation Changes Initiated by the Site and/or Clinical Affairs Hospital sites are subject to change based on the hospital resources, clinical faculty resources, student training needs, and/or administrative changes in hospitals. As VCOM does not own the clinical training sites, site changes may occur based on changes in hospital ownership, educational needs of the student, changes in hospital and VCOM agreements, loss of a teaching physician at a specific hospital, and/or a change in resources of the hospital. When this occurs, VCOM will provide notice to the student as soon as the Office of Clinical Affairs is made aware, and the students will be contacted individually in order to schedule the best possible alternate site for the rotations.
