During the inpatient block, students will be expected to work some weekends. Once your inpatient block has started, your clerkship site director will let you know which weekends you will be working. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"js-accordion__header\">What is the policy for time off?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-accordion__panel\" >\n<p>The policy for time off is the same as the rest of the class; Olympia LIC students are allowed two days off for every 12 weeks of the program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.uwmedicine.org\/md-program-policies-handbook\/\">UWSOM Curriculum Policies and Requirements<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have questions, email Dr. Devin Sawyer, <a href=\"mailto:torin@uw.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">torin@uw.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"js-accordion__header\">What if a student is unable to start March 27, 2023 due to retaking Step 1 or a delay in their test date?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-accordion__panel\" >\n<p>A student&#8217;s schedule can be adjusted if needed, but it may impact their ability to complete the LIC in Olympia. If a student is aware of a need to modify their Olympia LIC schedule for any reason, they should contact Stacey Erdahl (<a href=\"mailto:fauchald@uw.edu\">fauchald@uw.edu<\/a>)\u00a0as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"js-accordion__header\">How does housing work? Is housing paid for by the school? Do students find their own housing or is it arranged for them?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-accordion__panel\" >\n<p>Students are responsible for arranging their own housing in Olympia and Seattle. If students are completing a rotation in Seattle, the School of Medicine will provide housing reimbursement (currently at a rate of $80\/night).\u00a0 Note the amount provided may not be enough to cover all housing costs and some students may choose to stay with friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"js-accordion__header\">Will I need a car to participate in the Olympia LIC?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-accordion__panel\" >\n<p>Yes. Students will need a reliable car. While the majority of the inpatient work will be completed at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, several of the outpatient clinics are located in the surrounding Olympia area. In addition, students may spend time in Seattle for a 3-week Psychiatry rotation at Harborview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"js-accordion__header\">During the Explore and Focus Phase (fourth year), would Olympia be considered the home base and housing paid for by the School?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-accordion__panel\" >\n<p>Fourth-year housing is only covered for required clerkships away from a student&#8217;s home base: Neurology, Emergency Medicine, and APC. Home base during Explore and Focus is classified as either Seattle or the Explore and Focus Track site.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.uwmedicine.org\/curriculum\/by-phase\/explore-and-focus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explore and Focus Phase<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><a class=\"more\" href=\"https:\/\/education.uwmedicine.org\/somrural\/programs\/olympia-lic\/olympia-lic-faqs\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"parent":391,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
