If an applicant or an enrolled student suspects she is pregnant, she has the option of whether or not to inform program officials of her pregnancy. If the student chooses to voluntarily inform officials of her pregnancy, it must be in writing and indicate the expected date of delivery. In the absence of this voluntary, written disclosure, a student cannot be considered pregnant.
If an applicant or an enrolled student chooses to disclose her pregnancy, she is allowed to make an informed decision based on her individual needs and preferences. The options include the following:
- Continuing the educational program without modification of the rotation schedule.
- Leave of Absence from the program.
Option for written withdrawal of declaration: A student may withdraw declaration of pregnancy at any time during the pregnancy.
The student may or may not be allowed to graduate at the scheduled date. This will be determined on an individual basis by the faculty depending on the student's capacity to complete course requirements. Neither 91大神 nor the student's assigned Clinical Education Site will be responsible for injury to the student or the embryo/fetus if the student chooses to continue in the program during pregnancy.
