3rd Year

The College of Medicine – Tucson (COM-T) is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that respects and supports all identities, including gender expressions. This policy states students ability to select a preferred first name and designate pronouns that reflect their identities. Preferred names will be used in various university systems and documents, while legal names will remain for official records as required by law. Students can easily update their preferred names and pronouns through the UAccess Student Center. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use these preferences to foster respect and inclusivity within the learning environment.

This policy outlines principles and guidelines for the appropriate use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including but not limited to generative AI systems, machine learning platforms, and image recognition software, by medical students. It emphasizes ethical considerations, responsible usage, proper citation of AI tools, and HIPAA compliance in clinical documentation. Any use of AI for clinical documentation must adhere to the policies and guidelines of the clinical site and comply with HIPAA regulations to ensure the confidentiality and security of patient information. AI tools may not be used for writing History and Physicals (H&Ps) in the Doctor & Patient Course.

This policy outlines expectations for students logging duty hours, required clinical conditions/patient encounters (experience logbooks), alternative experiences, and History and Physical Exams (H&Ps) for each clerkship in MedLearn.

This policy is intended for all medical students in their clinical rotations. All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supplies are to be provided by the clinical site. If the site or learners rotating to that site require specialized PPE, they must notify Curricular Affairs (CA).
