22.3. Fairness in Clinical Assignments
All clinical placements and clerkships will be assigned in a neutral and non-discriminatory fashion, without regard to a student’s gender, race, sexual orientation, religious preference, or ethnicity. On occasion the Program does receive requests from preceptors for students with a particular type of prerequisite clerkships or language skill and the clinical team will attempt to accommodate their desires while adhering to our fairness policy. Placements are always at the discretion of the Director of Clinical Education and the reasoning may not be apparent or shared publicly. All students should expect to travel outside of the metropolitan Boston area for clinical placements.
