Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2023–2024 113 Documentation of this information must be on file with the KPCOM Office of Student Affairs prior to leaving campus for clinical rotations. During flu season, many hospitals require the influenza vaccination. It is the student’s responsibility to have the influenza vaccination. If students do not have proof or are excused from the influenza immunization for any reason, they will be required to wear a face mask in all hospitals during the flu season. Students are responsible to upload their proof of the annual influenza vaccination. There may be additional vaccinations required by training sites. Students assigned to a site must comply with all vaccination requirements for their site. To be eligible for any M3/M4 rotations or clinical experiences, the KPCOM student must also adhere to all of the following requirements and provide proof of completion: • Maintain current training in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Please note that only American Heart Association approved courses are acceptable. • Completed N95 mask fit process. • Complete Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training. • Pass a urine drug screen. • Successfully complete another Level 1, and if required by site, another Level 2 back- ground screening. Students should be prepared to present proof of any or all of the above requirements to their rotation site upon request. Students must adhere to these and any additional health and safety requirements and deadlines required by clinical training sites. Failure to do so will subject the student to disciplinary action, including dismissal from a rotation, which constitutes a failed rotation. (See the Rotation Failures, Reevaluation, Remediation, and Dismissal Appeal Process section in this handbook.) 3.
