Student Work Policy and Collegiate Athletic Participation

• The MC PA program is extremely intense and rigorous. Students should view their education as their primary responsibility and should not allow any outside activity to interfere with the ability to accomplish the requirements necessary as a PA student. Therefore, outside employment and collegiate athletic participation are strongly discouraged during the didactic phase and is prohibited during the clinical phase of the MC PA program. (A3.04, A3.15e). Collegiate athletic participation is at the discretion and approval of the MC PA program Progress and Conduct Committee.
• Students enrolled in the MC PA program cannot substitute for practicing physician assistants or provide unsupervised services common to a certified PA while at any learning or employment site while enrolled in the MC PA program.
• Students are not permitted to work for the MC PA program or any clinical affiliates while enrolled in the MC PA program. Students are never required to or permitted to substitute for regular administrative staff or instructional faculty or clinical rotation staff during didactic or clinical phase regardless of prior experience and are not to be the primary instructor or instructor of record for any component of the curriculum. (A3.04, A3.05a,b)
