VCOM Policy and Procedure

Policy #U018

c. When the clinical faculty member provides one-on-one educational tutoring for a student that pertains to the curriculum. Students and employees should not receive medical treatment during VCOM outreach activities. Any treatment provided to a student or employee must be done as an educational demonstration and not as a clinical activity. 3. OFF - CAMPUS TREATMENT BY VCOM CLINICAL FACULTY VCOM clinical faculty may treat VCOM students or employees in the clinical setting; however, the student or employee should be made aware that although the faculty member is employed by VCOM, any treatment performed in the clinical setting is not associated with VCOM but is associated with the independent clinical practice. When VCOM owns a clinical facility that houses a VCOM affiliated practice, students and employees should be aware that the facility is treated as any other facility leased by a clinical practice. In this setting, the student or employee must be registered as a patient who is being treated by the clinical faculty member as a practicing physician, not by a VCOM faculty member. As such, the clinical practice is not a part of VCOM as an academic institution and treatment is not covered by VCOM’s liability insurance. 4. DURATION OF POLICY VCOM’s Policy on Medical Treatment of Students and Employees has been established by VCOM Administration and is effective as of the date above and shall remain effective until amended or terminated by the President and Provost.
