Some of our students may be presenting posters, involved in leadership roles for these organizations, or participating in residency showcases. As with any planned absence, students are required to contact the Office of Experiential Education prior to making plans to attend these events so that we can work with them to minimize time away from their rotation. Conference participation is also considered an excused absence. Thus, any time missed may need to be made up at your discretion, and of course, we expect students to successfully complete all activities and objectives of their rotations. Job Interviews: September through November can be a busy time for our P4s as they interview for positions. All time off for job interviews must be approved in advance by the student’s preceptor. Every effort must be made to minimize the time missed from the experience. This includes such options as traveling in the evening hours or scheduling such events at the beginning or end of the week, so travel can occur on weekends. Additionally, students are strongly encouraged to utilize their off months for interviews.
