I haven't been counting but sounds about the same as here
Also the policies for staying home if you're sick in clinical year don't seem to be helping. They try to be encouraging by saying you won't fail the rotation!*
*but also there are no tests available for an average of 5 days out...
and if you don't have confirmed covid you won't be excused to stay home...
and also even if you *do* have confirmed covid, they'll make you do extra overnight and weekend on call duty on top of your regular on call/ icu duties during your next rotation to make up the days that you missed...
Or you won't graduate on time and will have to stay for extra rotations in the summer!
.... Like, if someone has COVID can we just let people do whatever they did last year when the hospital was shut down? There were a lot of virtual rotations and that was acceptable for the class of 2020 and 2021 but for some reason that's not allowed now for the class of 2022? Even for just a 5 day quarantine out of a 21 day rotation? It's really just incentivizing people to not get tested and to keep coming to the school imo. (I think this may be an AVMA issue more than a school issue about what's allowed and what's not for receiving credit, but still.)
