Medical Student Procedures

 

Students arriving at LVHHN for the first time must contact the Division of Education, via email, to Sherri_S.White at least three weeks prior to the start of the rotation and provide the following information:

 

Name

School / Year

*Social Security Number

*Date of Birth

Preferred E-Mail Address

Cell/Home Phone Number

Housing Required:    Y / N

 

*SSN and DOB are required for ID badge and computer access processing.  This process takes 3-5 business days; therefore, it is extremely important that this information is provided to us at least three weeks prior to a rotation.

 

Students will receive an email notification with their arrival, housing and orientation information on Thursday prior to the start of a rotation.

 

All medical students reporting to LVHHN for a clerkship or elective rotation must provide one form of picture identification to Security upon arrival.  Students will then receive their LVHHN ID badge, providing the student has contacted LVHHN with their personal information well in advance.

 

In addition, all students are required to bring a photo copy of their immunization records and medical insurance ID card with them to orientation on the first day of their rotation. The current immunization requirements are attached.  Students who do not adhere to the above procedures may forfeit their current rotation assignment.  As always, thank you for your cooperation in these matters.
