[Seuce-cci] Off-site placements and precautions

Mon Jun 15 17:01:56 EDT 2020

We are under university guidance on this.  We have an assumption of risk waiver and release students sign.  I also meet with each of them in a clinical advising session if they are going off-campus to review the benefits, risks, precautions, letting them know they are in control of their, discussing importance of working with site/supervisor regarding COVID-19 protocols, and how to handle concerns.  We will take each site into consideration and are also training students about COVID-19.

The University System of Georgia provides us with the statement below. It's the only guidance we have received from above, but as a program we will look at each site individually.

USG Guidelines for Student Experiences
Learning in the clinical environment may occur in a carefully monitored and controlled manner. No student will be allowed contact with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 individual. Hypervigilance will be given to hygiene, disinfection, universal precautions, and barrier techniques throughout the learning experience.

Good morning,

I am curious about how everyone is handling off-site clinical placements for fall. At Lamar, as I am sure is happening everywhere, we are losing many sites and want to ensure safety measures for students going to sites that are still taking students.

There are still a few healthcare settings still willing to take students. I am nervous about putting students back in day-to-day activity, but know we are tying to provide continued clinical training and keep them on track educationally. Have any of you come up with guidelines or policies around placements where individuals with a covid diagnosis are being treated?  My initial response is to limit student treatment in these cases, not to stigmatize this population, but because I don’t have enough guiding evidence to know the students and placements are taking the safest precautions.

I know there are many unknown variables surrounding what could happen between now and fall, but would appreciate any feedback or insight regarding what your departments are doing.

Thanks,
Karen
