CCE Assignments

The CCE Administrative Coordinator schedules all CCE's for both Year 1 and Year 2, CPC and PCC medical students. Medical students will receive an email prior to the beginning of each quarter with their assignments and relevant information. Assignments are tracked by the Administrative Coordinator with a report of student experiences and faculty CME credits available quarterly.  CCE's must be scheduled by the CCE Office to count toward meeting graduation requirements.

Clinical Presentation Continuum Curriculum

Year 1 CPC students are assigned to complete twelve (12) CCE’s during fall, winter and spring quarters. These assignments will be a combination of clinical faculty and community agency experiences.
Year 2 CPC students complete nine (9) CCE’s during fall and winter quarters; three (3) CCE's may be available during spring quarter at the request of the student. These assignments will be a combination of primary care, specialty medicine and community agency experiences.

Patient Centered Continuum Curriculum

Year 1 PCC students complete eight (8) CCE’s each quarter. Six CCE’s are assigned with clinical faculty; two CCE’s are with community agency preceptors.
Year 2 PCC medical students complete eight (8) CCE's during fall and winter quarters and four (4) CCE's during spring quarter, in a variety of clinical practice settings.

Community agency and clinical faculty assignments are not interchangeable.

Important Note Regarding Incompletes

Students receive ample notification when an Incomplete is given. It is the medical student’s responsibility to resolve the Incomplete. Without resolution, the incomplete will turn into a grade of "F" six weeks into the following quarter. A student with a failing CCE grade is referred to the Committee on Student Progress for follow up.

Optional CCE’s

Medical students may complete optional CCE’s during the quarter to enhance their learning; it is strongly recommended that these arrangements be made through the CCE Administrative Assistant. An Optional CCE Evaluation form will be provided and must be completed and turned into the CCE Office.

Unscheduled Experiences 

Students are encouraged to contact CCE Office before scheduling experiences on their own with faculty to avoid conflicts with other trainees.  The student is responsible for contacting the Medical Education Department in the hospital prior to an acute-care experience outside CCE.  Please see the statement on Student Insurance Coverage for information about scheduling experiences during the intervals between classes.  Please see the Preclinical Summer Program Approval form for information about experiences during the summer between the first and second year.
