Course directors formulate action plans for the course based, in part, upon the student feedback. Course action plan summaries are reviewed by the Curriculum Committee. Course changes and syllabi are approved by the Curriculum Committee prior to the next course offerings. b. Clinical Instruction Within 15 days of the end of each required rotation, students are required to complete an online Student Evaluation of Clinical Rotation. This information is reviewed by the Office of Clinical Education on a regular basis. Additionally, a global evaluation of the assigned core campus is completed by each student assigned to the site. These evaluations are shared with the clinical assistant deans and the associated department chairs who serve as the rotation directors for all rotations under their department. They are also reviewed by the Office of Clinical Education who reports to the Curriculum Committee annually on each core campus and any rotation issues. 5. American Heart Association Certification Requirements All students must maintain current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification during the time they are in the D.O. program. BLS training is included in the M1 course of study at the beginning of the M1 academic year. This certification is valid for two years. All OMS3 and OMS4 students must maintain current BLS, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification during the time they are in their M3 and M4 clinical training years. BLS, ACLS, and PALS training is included in the M2 course of study and is offered at the end of the M2 year. Students must contact the Office of Student Affairs if their BLS, ACLS, and/or PALS provider status is due to expire prior to their next scheduled offering or prior to graduation. Students who extend their course of study by participating in either the Predoctoral OPP Fellowship or the Predoctoral Research Fellowship will have one additional training in BLS paid for by KPCOM. Students who extend their course of study for other reasons (i.e., leave of absence, course or rotation failures, National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners [NBOME] Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination [COMLEX] board failures) will be personally and financially responsible for maintaining their certification through classes offered at NSU or at an American Heart Association training center, preapproved by the chair of the Emergency Medicine Department. 6. Library Skills Press Library staff members will provide orientation to the Press Library during OMS1 Orientation Week and are available to students on an ongoing basis to direct and support their library needs. Every matriculating student should be able to conduct research using the latest electronic resources available through the university’s libraries. • Students should be acquainted with the major printed resources and electronic databases available to the health professions.
