What should I do if a student is involved in or sees an accident during clinical experience activities at my site?
Students who are involved in or witness an accident or incident while participating in clinical experience activities must follow the clinical site’s policy on completing reports/forms/documents related to the accident/incident. Students should also complete the Incident Reporting Form and follow the instructions on the form.
As soon as possible, or at maximum, within 24 hours of the accident /incident, students must also contact the DCE/ADCE to receive direction for follow up according to UF’s Health Science Center Self Insurance Program (SIP) procedures where applicable.
The student will be contacted by the DCE/ADCE (or another school representative) to confirm receipt of their report and provide further direction as needed.
Pursuant to contractual agreements with clinical sites, students are not eligible for employee benefits including worker’s compensation. For minor injuries, first aid should be administered onsite. For more serious injuries, emergency response should be instigated. Each student is responsible for maintaining personal major medical health insurance while on clinical experiences, thereby availing the student of the opportunity to receive appropriate emergency care.
