NEED TO KNOW LIST

Too Tired To Drive Home Policy - If, for any reason, you find yourself too tired to safely drive, you can obtain a taxi ride to your home. At Loyola or Hines, go to the Student Portal and get directions and a WAY TO GO voucher for American Taxi Service. At other sites-call a taxi, pay and bring the receipt to Dr Sheehan's office (708.216.8887) for reimbursement. A ride back to the hospital is also underwritten.
Eighty hour work week - Your total time at a clinical site cannot exceed 80 hrs/week-this includes call not more than every fourth night and a minimum of one full day/week off. For violations, notify the site and clerkship director.
Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure - With any needle stick or similar exposure, immediately wash the affected area, report the incident to your immediate supervisor, and go to the site's Occupational Health Service or, after hours, to the site's ER. The important issue is to receive antiviral prophylaxis for potential exposure to HIV infected material within 1-2 hours of the exposure. You must also notify Loyola's Occupational Health Service (708-531-7900) or, after hours, page the on-call OHS staff member (708.216.8777 - pager 19480). Call the Loyola student health Doctor - Bryan Yanaga, M.D. (708.216.8777 - pager 19480) with any problems. If exposure occurs at Gottlieb or Alexian Brothers, please go directly to the Emergency Room at that hospital.
Patient /Procedure Logs -You need to keep your log up to date and accurate. Ideally you should add patient encounters/procedures daily-at a minimum the logs must be updated weekly.
Non-Sexual/Sexual Harassment/Mistreatment - Stritch has a policy of zero tolerance for such treatment. For instances of non-sexual mistreatment you are encouraged to find support with a variety of resources, including the clerkship director, Campus Ministry/Pastoral Care, personal counseling services, our medical center Employee Assistance Program (EAP) counselors, any of the deans or trusted faculty. If you believe that the issue needs more formal investigation/ resolution you should contact the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. In instances of Sexual Harassment, Stritch is governed by our Medical Center 's Sexual Harassment Policy-and all allegations of sexual harassment must be formally investigated-you may seek confidential consultation through the EAP or Office of Campus Ministry to explore options for addressing the concern and you are strongly encouraged to notify the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
