The summer break brings an increase in requests to physicians to provide clinical experiences for students and others. Physicians are reminded that any person they bring to a WellStar facility in a shadowing or extern role must be processed by the Medical Staff office to assure that patients’ safety and privacy is preserved and that the experience for the student is a safe one.
All individuals must:
• Show proof of immunization and a negative TB test or normal chest x-ray.
• Attend an orientation session or complete a test of orientation materials.
• Wear their WellStar “Student” badge while in the facilities.
Badges are issued by Security once processing is completed. Concerns for infection control and patient privacy may limit our ability to allow these individuals to access certain areas. High School students are encouraged to apply to the programs organized through Volunteer Services.
Information and forms necessary to process students and other individuals can be obtained from Jan Hopkins (jan.hopkins@wellstar.org) in the Medical Staff office or from Don Campbell (don.campbell@wellstar.org) in Organizational Learning.
