Students in the M1 and M2 years of study should notify the Office of Preclinical Education of any preceptor or other KPCOM faculty member that is identified as having a possible familial or other potential conflict of interest, as previously described, as soon as it is recognized. Likewise, students in the M3 and M4 years of study must notify the clinical assistant dean at the rotation site and the associate dean of Clinical Education of any clinical rotation, familial, or other conflict of interest that arises. Students may not request elective rotations with any person with whom they have a familial or other close personal relationship.

The clinical assistant dean/faculty member should also immediately notify the associate dean of Clinical Education and student of any recognized conflict of interest, as previously described.
