Students are covered by the University policy for malpractice insurance while assigned to clinical education. There is no cost to the students for this insurance for academic year 2025-2026.
Students may choose to devote additional time at the clinical education site they are assigned to during the breaks between semesters, according to the company providing professional liability insurance for our students.
The parameters of this policy are as follows:
- This time is extra time and is not part of the assigned clinical education hours required during each semester. This means students cannot use this as make up time for previous absences nor for future assigned clinical time.
- Students must still follow all of the policies within this handbook including the direct and indirect supervision.
- Students may perform competencies and proficiencies with registered sonographers as needed.
- Students must stay within the scope of practice of a student in the 91大神 Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
- Students must provide a schedule of time to be spent at the clinical education site to the clinical instructor and the clinical coordinator one week prior to the time scheduled.
- Students must attend as indicated in their schedule given to the clinical coordinator. Failure to attend a scheduled time will result in disciplinary action.This includes tardiness and absence policies.
