Student Use
The Interprofessional Education and Resource Center is an opportunity for students to practice professional health care skills, behaviors, and attitudes.
Scheduling
Students are encouraged to use the Clinical Skills Lab for clinical practice. To schedule one or more rooms for practice, students should contact Anne Woll the Center Manager at (612) 624-9691 or wollx003@umn.edu or stop by her office at PWB 2-241.
Hours
The IERC is open from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Monday – Friday. Scheduling for student practice is subject to the discretion of the Center Manager.
Cancellations
A minimum of 24 hours advance notification is needed for room cancellations. Rooms will be held for 10 minutes after scheduled use time, at which point they may be given to other users.
Technology Training
Students wishing to video record their clinical skills for self-assessment or course assignments, must receive training prior to using the video recording equipment. Contact Patricia Rizzi the Instructional Technology Coordinator at (612) 624-6166 or rizzi001@umn.edu to arrange a training session.
Arrival
When arriving for practice, sign-in at the Center Manager’s office (PWB 2-241) and return to sign out following practice sessions.
Universal Precautions
Follow universal precautions against infectious disease while participating in clinical activities. Universal Precautions Guidelines can be found inside the exam room cabinets.
Professionalism
| • |
The IERC is located in a space that is shared with the Transplant Clinic. Patients visit the clinic and consult with their physicians in rooms that surround the IERC. Therefore, it is very important to act professionally and courteously while at the IERC. |
| • |
Please keep noise to a minimum, speak quietly, and maintain the same professional behavior that you would in any health care clinic. |
| • |
As in professional clinical practice, NO food or beverages are to be taken into the exam room. |
Clean Up
Clean and straighten the exam room when completing your practice session. Return exam equipment, unused supplies, and furniture to their original location. Put trash in the receptacles and wipe up wet or soiled surfaces. Turn off the lights and close the exam room door.
