Hello my fellow SDNers,
Of all my time on SDN this might be the first time that I have created a thread, and it is because I need your help. My school has just informed us, the students, that we will be getting NO CREDIT for the months of April and May and they will be using our elective/audition time to force us to do made up online electives during this time, none of which will count for ANY of our requirements for graduation outside of filling an elective slot. Our school has a very heavy primary care focus, understandable, and as such we have 5 extra rotations that are required for graduation in addition to Core Rotations. These are Community Hospital X2, Rural Clinic, and Primary Care Elective X2. Our school has decided that these rotations are more important than our auditions and future careers. As a class our biggest problem with this administrative decision is that current 4th years GOT CREDIT for one of these rotations this month, so it is possible for them to do it, they are simply refusing.
What I need from you:
I need everyone willing to answer my poll if whether or not your school is allowing online modules for Rotations Required for Graduation. These can be core rotations or any other specific rotations that are required and not just general electives. If your answer is yes, then I need you to DM me with details about exactly what your school is doing, and preferably concrete evidence (I.e. a syllabus, email from admin, etc).
UPDATE: After the amount of backlash admin received from our class they have decided to give us credit for the rural and community rotations for April and May, potentially even June if this extends into June.
For the rest of you at schools that have instituted similar nonsensical policies, there is power in numbers. Changes can be made if a large cohort of the class submits complaints.
Thank you for everyone who messaged me!
