Clinical Schedules
The Clinical Support Office provides students with clinical rotation schedules according to the following schedule.
- The clinical rotation schedule for Semesters 3-5 is available in the clinical scheduling management system.
- Senior rotation schedules are given to each student for semesters 6-8 prior to the completion of semester 5.
Clinical Case Management & Evaluation Software
MTSA utilizes clinical case management software to track student progress at their clinical sites.
This software also allows clinical preceptors to evaluate students after they complete clinical rotations.
TB skin tests
The Clinical Support Office provides TB skin tests to students free of charge. All students must complete a TB skin test annually in accordance with clinical site requirements. If a student does not obtain the test through MTSA, the student is still responsible for remaining current and may complete the screening through their primary care provider, a local urgent care center, or participating pharmacies. Tests obtained outside MTSA are at the student’s expense.
Senior Elective
All eligible Practice Doctorate students complete a Senior Elective during the final semester of the program, which allows the opportunity to choose where they will complete their clinical rotations in their final semester.
See the Senior Elective page in the handbook for more information about the Senior Elective (https://mtsa-dnappd.cleancatalog.net/senior-elective).
