Purpose
To cultivate an environment that maximizes the safety of patients and students and encourages the development and mastery of clinical skills necessary in the care of patients.
Overview
In order to fulfill our dual duties to patient care and safety, and to the education of medical students in the practice of medicine, and to align with accreditation requirements (as outlined by the LCME standards 9.2 Faculty Appointments, and 9.3 Clinical Supervision of Medical Students), this policy delineates the requirements to meet the standard for supervision in the clinical environment across all years of undergraduate medical education.
Policy
All medical students at DGSOM must be appropriately supervised when participating in patient care in required or elective clinical activities at all clinical training sites.
