Thread: clinicals

Anyone knows where rotations would be for 6-10 semesters. Any idea?

I received an email that stated "We have established clinical relationships so far with Illinois, Georgia, New York, and Puerto Rico. We are in the process of setting up several other clinical opportunities for our students." I don't know the exact locations, but they did tell me that.

So New York is part of it. very good. thank you

How can a school that does not have NY approval have NY clinical s?

I'm not sure how, but I would like the UMHS official to answer that for all of us. What I posted was sent to me in an email from the west coast office for UMHS.

i was going to ask the exact same thing....you need NYS approval to do rotations in NY....and that takes a while...typo?

NO you do not need NY approval to do rotations in NY. The rule is that you can do rotations in NY BUT for only LESS than 12 weeks.

However, a school that does have NY approval can do rotations for MORE than 12 weeks. Thats the difference.

But having approval does carry ofcourse leverage for the school and looks great

ahhh...that makes sense, but then why are there schools that can't do clinicals in NY?

Well there can be a variety of reasons why another school cant place their students in rotations in NY such as if they have the proper accreditations, whether a hospital would accept them or even deal with them, status of the school or even whether the school has established strong connections, etc.

But rest assured I doubt UMHS will have any problem because its got all that. NY approval my guess will come within 2-3 years.

You guys should realize something else...Im sure the school is going after several state approvals. Take a look at where there are UMHS offices set up: Flordia, NY, CALI...

I havent even heard of a carribean med school have a office in Cali so thats interesting. This is all preparation to go after state approvals and look good. Also to show them we are legit and know what we are doing.

That still does not answer the question. Do they have NY clinical s now or in 2-3 years. That is the question. There is no doubt that the school will do well...
