  17. Bus departure from DHSHP • Morning class will leave promptly at 8:05 am • Afternoon class will leave promptly at 12:10 pm • Please wait in foyer next to Dr. DeBakey’s information stand quietly until I come down

  18. You are expected to arrive in clinical garb. That means scrubs & lab coat on, I.D. around neck, hair combed, etc. If I have to ask you to put on your I.D., lab coat, (yada yada yada), this will result in a grade deduction and possibly being left at school.

  19. I will get a list of your homeroom & tutorial teachers and email them when clinical rotation begins. However, please check in with them before every clinical rotation. Okay, thanks. Hi. I’m here. May I leave for clinical rotation.

  20. If you’re in the afternoon class: • No extra homeroom/tutorial time. • Please be ready to leave room & board bus promptly • You should have lab coat and ID on and be seated to get checked off and head to bus.

  21. I will give you your pick up time. Give yourself enough time to make it down. It is better to be early than late. Ex. OR Clinical Schedule Date:2/15/07 Site Floor Departure TIRR 1st 10:35 Metho. 5th 10:37 St.Luke’s 17th 10:39 THI 10th 10:39 Shriners 2nd 10:47 TX.Ortho. 3rd 10:55

  22. If you are late: • The morning bus departs at 8:05 am. • If you are late, you are absent! • If you are more than 3 minutes late from your clinical site, the bus will circle the “block” once. • If you are not outside when the bus returns, you will need to call a parent and get a ride back to the school.

  23. Not being on time when your bus arrives is a serious offence (esp. in pm class) • It will result in a large point deduction off your daily clinical grade. (this is whether the bus picks you up on the second go-round or you have to find your own transportation)

  24. Clinical Grade • You will have 2 separate clinical grades: • Rotation grade - based on clinical attire, grooming, promptness, etc. • Clinical assignments - medical terms, journals, case studies

  25. A few more things-- • Please stay in your assigned area or with your mentor for duration of rotation. Ask for reference book or etc. if slow. Take initiative. Do not sit or doze off. If not in assigned area and/or do not text me…zero, Class conduct to P, AP calls parent. If we get in trouble and supervisor contacts…zero, office conduct to P, AP calls parent, and not allowed to clinical rotation. If affects DeBakey’s AA…zero, Office conduct to P, AP, calls parent, no clinical rotation, and suspension. • Do not make “stops” to and/or from site. This means food courts, nursery, other departments to see relative or friends. • Always be respectful, demonstrate interest, and honor confidentiality. • Let your mentor know when leaving. Wash hands when you return to campus. • Let me know if you have any incidents at the site ex. Amniotic fluid or if anyone questions you or if you get in trouble. • Text me if you can’t find your mentor or there is nothing going on, bored. Don’t assign yourself to a department or mentor. • Or you don’t feel good or if your mentor says go take a break, etc. ALWAYS TEXT ME . Let me know so I can help or guide you. That is my job. But you have to take the initiative to ask me or let me know your situation.

  26. Please respect our school bus & the driver! • Do not leave any trash, used Kleenexes, coat hangers, laundry tabs, etc. on the school bus. • Stay seated while bus is moving and keep a low volume. • Before you leave bus make sure you have all of your things: cell phone, books, ID, notepad, etc. • Remember to thank our driver upon returning to the school.

  27. Lastly, please remember that we are guests in these hospitals & clinics. Access to these institutions is a privilege.

  28. Thank You • Please give a Thank You card to your mentor or department and let them know how much you appreciate their time and knowledge and what you have learned. (Grade) If you would like to give a small gift or candy, brownies, donuts, and etc., that is okay too.

  29. In Addition • Remember to not gawk patients • Patients feel vulnerable • Be compassionate – if you were in a similar situation • “That is cool”…. Patients are in pain • Allow patients to enter elevator first • Remember Time/Place for everything—Talking about patients cases in hospital/elevator • Do not touch blue cloth
