Please note, there is a difference between an "approved rotation" and the student being cleared to begin. A student must be fully compliant (all green checks) before they are cleared to begin. Once fully compliant (all green checks) the rotation request will be reviewed for approval by the Northside Education committee at minimum 30 days prior to the site clinical rotation start and notice of approval will be emailed directly to the student. Northside's requirement of compliance in ACEMAPP at a "minimum 30 days prior" is to approve 30 days before start, delay in compliance will delay approval or result in rotation denial.

Students are responsible for obtaining the signed "Exhibit A" sponsoring physician agreement which must be signed by a physician. A signature by only the preceptor will not be accepted.
