Immediately following the acceptance of an away elective offer from a host institution and no less than 45 days prior to the away rotation start date, you must initiate the approval and scheduling process for the UNMC COM.
The ability to participate in an away rotation for credit is dependent on the presence of a valid affiliation agreement with the host institution prior to the start date of the away rotation. The UNMC COM cannot execute an affiliation agreement with a host institution in less than 45 days and you will not be approved to participate in the away rotation for credit.
Approval and Scheduling Process
An UNMC COM Phase 3 elective of interest (second choice) must be scheduled through OASIS in advance of the away rotation approval and scheduling process. Only after the approval of an away rotation application can the away rotation be administratively added to your schedule by the COM Office of Admissions and Students Affairs (OASA).
- Save a copy of the away elective acceptance from the host institution.
- Complete section 1 of the Away Rotation Application.
- Submit the away rotation application to the appropriate Phase 3 Career Specialty Track Director.
- Include the copy of the away elective acceptance.
- The OASA will email a copy of the approved away rotation application or notification of disapproval to you and the department upon completion of the process.
- If approved, the OASA will proceed with administratively dropping the currently scheduled UNMC COM elective and add the away rotation to your schedule.
