General Information

Attendance

The University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) expects students to attend, actively participate, and prioritize their academic education and training. UWSOM also recognizes that other academic and personal events occur during clinical training. The following policies provide guidance for students, staff, and faculty on student attendance and absences in the clinical phases:

Attendance and Absentee Policy

Healthcare Absences

All requests for nonemergent absences MUST be made 6 weeks prior to the start of the rotation block using this form.

Unanticipated absences during the clerkship must be communicated to your site director AND Medical Student Program.

Transportation

A car is required and when traveling to/from sites within the region all mileage should be tracked. Reimbursement can be requested through GoWWAMI.

Housing

Housing is provided in Tacoma through the University of Washington and booked on your behalf. Prior to your rotation start, you will be provided with hotel confirmation details. For questions, please contact GoWWAMI.

Onboarding & Credentialing

Credentialing

Student credentialing and onboarding for clerkships rotating through Mary Bridge is handled via myClinicalExchange, a web-based platform. There is a small cost to create an account to use the program. Reimbursements can be requested from GoWWAMI.

Once your rotation dates are added to mCE, the Mary Bridge administrative team will approve the rotation and review any onboarding documents within that system. Please respond to any requests in a timely manner.
