PARKING
Students shifting at UM – You are eligible for a blue parking permit/pass ($44.50/4 weeks) the Wednesday before your EM rotation begins. These are available through the Office of Student Programs (OSP) and are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will be working odd hours and we strongly encourage purchasing these permits for your safety. (The bus system does not run between 2:30am‑5:30am.). We will not be able to issue you any $2.00 parking coupons. Please contact Heather Wourman directly if you experience any problems in obtaining the blue 4-week parking permits prior to orientation. If OSP runs out, there is nothing that we can do.
Students shifting offsite – You are eligible for a $2.00 parking coupon when you come to UM for orientation, lectures and the final exam. This will not make your parking free, but instead the maximum you will have to pay is $2.00 no matter how long you are there. Ask Heather for these.
LOCKERS
There is a unisex ED locker-room just outside Medpath. There are two lockers (# 200, # 202) designated for the medical students rotating through EM and PEM at UMHS. Locker combinations are given at orientation. Students are to use locker for backpacks, coats, etc. to avoid cluttering the ED staffing area. More lockers may be available upon request.
COMPUTER SYSTEM
Contact Heather Wourman for problems at cerovski@umich.edu.
COMMUNICATION
During business hours, when you are not sleeping, you are expected to be available by pager. The course administration will use email for routine communication. You are expected to check your groupwise account at least every 2 days while on the rotation.
BLOOD AND BODY FLUID EXPOSURES
Should a student receive an exposure during this rotation, initial evaluation and any indicated treatment will be performed through employee health at the site and time of exposure.
