ABSENCES FROM ROTATION

Here is a summary of the OEE absence policy for your quick reference. The complete student absence policy can be found in the MCW Student & Preceptor Experiential Education Handbook found in CORE ELMS.

It is the student’s responsibility to notify the preceptor and OEE of ALL absences.

Unplanned absence:

• Students are expected to communicate with their preceptor and OEE they will not be at rotation.

• Student and preceptor agree on a makeup plan, and the student documents this in CORE ELMS.

• Make up hours can be completed on weekends, evenings or additional projects can be assigned.

Planned absence:

• These include weddings or family obligations.

• Student must receive prior approval from OEE and the preceptor.

• All missed hours must be made up and the plan documented in CORE ELMS.

Unexcused absence:

• Employment is not considered an appropriate reason for absence from experiential rotations.

• In the case of a “no call, no show” situation, please call the Office of Experiential Education immediately.

Excused absence:

The following do not need to be made up but must be approved by OEE:

• Personal Professional Development days

• ASHP Midyear Meeting & Clinical Exhibition

• APPE Seminar

• MCW Holidays/Breaks

• MCW Sponsored Pharmacy Events
