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

The student and resident apartments are close to the clinic, hospital, and shopping. There is a furnished 2-bedroom basement apartment, that includes a washer and dryer, vacuum cleaner, and kitchen essentials. It is expected that students will replace what they use. Students and residents should bring their own linens, sheets, towels, and pillows. Under no circumstances are pets allowed in apartments.

Onboarding & Credentialing

Credentialing

This site requires a standard panel drug test to be ordered through the SOM. Order a drug test here.

The ID WWAMI Team and Heather Gunter will reach out 6 – 8 weeks prior to the start of your clerkship. Please respond to any requests in a timely manner.

Student credentialing and onboarding for clerkships rotating through Portneuf Medical Center are handled via myClinicalExchange (mCE), a web-based platform. There is a small cost to create an account to use the program. Reimbursements can be requested from GoWWAMI.

The Idaho WWAMI office will add the rotation dates to mCE, and the Portneuf Medical Center administrative team will approve the rotation and review any onboarding documents within that system.
