NEED TO KNOW LIST
-
1.
Too Tired To Drive Home Policy: If, for any reason,
you are too tired to safely drive, you can obtain a taxi ride to your
home. While at Loyola or Hines, go to the Loyola.wired web page (http://portal.luhs.org)
and login to the INFORMATION PORTAL. At the bottom of the page,
click on the Way To Go! Taxi Voucher link for American Taxi
Service. When at other sites, call a taxi, pay, and bring the receipt to
Dr. Gruener's office (SSOM, Room 310) for reimbursement. A ride back to
the hospital is also underwritten.
-
2.
Eighty-hour work week: Your total time at a clinical site
cannot exceed 80 hours/week. This includes "call" not more than every
fourth night and a minimum of one full day off/week. For violations,
notify the site and clerkship director.
-
3.
Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure: If you are stuck by
a needle or other sharp object, or get blood or other potentially
infectious materials in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on broken skin,
immediately flood the exposed area with water and clean any wound with
soap and water or a skin disinfectant. Report this immediately to a
supervisor, indicating the person who needs to be source tested. You
should seek immediate medical attention. If at Loyola, report the exposure
to the Loyola Outpatient Center (LOC) Employee and Student Health Clinic
at 708-216-3156 for further instructions. If after hours, on weekends, or
holidays, (1) report to the Emergency Department
and
(2) leave a secure voicemail message for the LOC Employee and Student
Health at 708-216-2312. State your name, date of birth, phone number, and
name and medical record number of the person who was the source of
exposure. If off campus, contact the site's employee/occupational health
service immediately or go to their Emergency Department. Your insurance
information will need to be provided.
-
4.
Patient/Procedure Logs: You need to keep your log up-to-date
and accurate. Ideally, you should add patient encounters and procedures
daily. At a minimum, the logs must be updated weekly.
-
5.
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.
