31.4. Completion of Clinical Experiences
All clerkships are required professional courses and must be completed successfully to progress in the program. Clerkships will occur at the facility assigned by the DCE. It is not the student’s prerogative to decline a clerkship placement; such action will be considered refusal to take a required course. Likewise, a student who discontinues participation in a clerkship prior to its scheduled end date, without successful petition for a grade of Incomplete, will receive a grade of “F” for that course.
