18 - ACCIDENTS, ILLNESS, AND INJURY

Students are to immediately report any accident or illness, regardless of how minor and with respect to injuries, regardless of whether the student feels injured. If you are in a facility, contact both the preceptor and the faculty immediately. The student is to be familiar with the accident/injury policy of each facility/site so that appropriate procedures can be followed should an accident or injury occur. If on campus the student must report to the OUHSC Student Health as soon as possible for evaluation of the injury. Provide the program director a copy of any incident report filed at the facility. Hours missed during a supervised practice rotation due to accident, illness or injury must be made up at a later time.
