Part I Part II Part III Part IV

At no time during the clinical experience will you be substituted for regular laboratory staff. During your clinical experience, you may be scheduled to perform procedures, run instruments, or man a work station after you have successfully completed all the objectives for that area. However, you will still be working under the supervision of a clinical instructor.

During your clinical experience, you may work as an employee of the laboratory, if the laboratory permits this and if scheduled hours are available. You must be progressing satisfactorily in your clinical experience in order to be employed by the clinical site. You may not work for pay during your regularly scheduled internship hours. You may only work in an area of the laboratory where you have successfully completed the assigned objectives with a grade of "C" or better.

Service work must be voluntary on both sides. You do not have to accept paid employment, if you are not interested. The laboratory does not have to offer paid employment to you.

If you are employed by the clinical site, you must be compensated for your work, and you must follow the normal employment policies of the institution.
