What To Expect
On your first day, you will begin with student orientation to meet with your clinical instructor. During this time, you and your clinical instructor will review VUMC policies/procedures, discuss your VUMC clinical experience plans, review expectations/objectives for your clinical rotation, and begin orienting to the clinic.
Students will be scheduled for eStar (Epic) training during the first week of the clinical rotation to learn our EMR system. Prerequisites for the course are included in the Learning Exchange modules that must be completed 24 hours prior to your scheduled eStar training.
It is strongly recommended that students pick up their ID badge prior to their first day. If you were not able to get your ID badge prior to your first day, please work out a plan with your clinical instructor to pick up your ID badge on your first day. A scheduled appointment is required for your ID Badge. You must have your badge prior to getting a parking permit, if desired.
