[Rx2021] IMPORTANT - Readiness for Upcoming Rotations

[Pschirer, James Joseph]

Dear Students,
As more sites are beginning to accept students for on-site rotations, and other sites are extending restrictions on on-site rotations, we need to ensure that every student is ready at a moment's notice to change from remote to on-site or to change the location of a previously scheduled rotation.  This means that EVERY student, right now, must have their Castle Branch account renewed and up to date with background checks, trainings, etc. Failure to do this could result in the loss of rotations, changes in Off blocks, and the inability to graduate on time.  The following items must be up to date in Castle Branch:

  1.
Castle Branch account has been renewed for this year
  2.
PA Child Abuse Background Check is completed and result posted
  3.
CPR card and PA Intern License are not expired and are posted
  4.
HIPAA Training, Bloodborne Pathogen Training, Infection Prevention Training, and COVID-19 Training are completed and posted
  5.
Proof of health insurance is posted
  6.
All immunizations are up to date and posted, with the exception of influenza
  7.
FBI Fingerprint Check and TB Testing may not be available yet, but be ready to get these as soon as they are available


In addition, any student scheduled for a rotation at ANY UPMC facility in ANY block must also complete the special UPMC COVID-19 training that can be accessed at this link: https://www.wolfflearningacademy.com/<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wolfflearningacademy.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C2b1997ca10a6460c4a1708d807e8186c%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C637268040700833310&sdata=AjtJ08z8lu1lqXD7V9yrb%2FZhVy1K7EjWZG1BgxRssbs%3D&reserved=0>.  Print the certificate when complete and be ready to present it to the UPMC site.  The link is also n the EValue home page.

Thank you for your compliance with these requirements as we work to ensure that every student has the opportunity to graduate on time with the tools you need to be successful.
