How will COVID exposures on the wards be handled now that students are vaccinated? 

Is it still the case that students aren’t allowed to see people who do not have negative COVID test? Are all clerkships sites aware of this so we don’t feel weird when we remind them?

Many attendings in the hospital are not consistently keeping masks on while in shared (and small) work rooms. How do we approach this, considering the power dynamics involved?

What do students do if they care for a COVID positive patient? We are not supposed to care for COVID patients, but sometimes patients test positive after care begins.  

I was exposed to a COVID patient, and had to stay home for 2 weeks. I was then told I had to make up the time I missed in order to pass the rotation. Has UCSF considered passing students in this situation without them having to “make up” the time they were forced to miss?

If I am on my sub-i and become congested, do I really take time off to get tested when most likely it’s from the wildfires or seasonal allergies? 

What are the plans for Clinical Microsystem Clerkships for quality improvement projects and Kanbar?

Are F1 MS2 students expected to return to clerkships in January 2021?

Will there be in-person preceptorships for Clinical Microsystem Clerkships?

What will happen with clinical skills in the second year of F1 and into F2?
