Welcome to your Harborview Medicine Rotation. The orientation materials and Medical Service schedules for your rotation are linked further down the page. You can also find general information regarding the Medicine Clerkship at http://courses.washington.edu/med665/. Please note: Your Medicine clerkship begins on Monday, March 31, 2008.
We also recommend you deal with two other issues PRIOR to starting the clerkship:
To make your first day easier, please remember to bring your IRIS login provided to you by the student office. This login is necessary for you to sign-on to the computer medical records. You will also need to obtain a temporary login and password for the Online Record of Clinical Activity (ORCA) system. You can obtain an ORCA login and password by calling Medical Center Information Services Help Desk at (206) 543-7012 (RECOMMENDED).
The Badging and Parking offices are located on 8EH, across from the Center elevators. You will need to pick up your Harborview ID badge from the Badging Office at the start of the rotation if you do not already have one. The Badging Office is open from 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (Mon-Fri). The phone number for the Parking office is 744-3254, and their office hours are 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on weekdays - please try to arrange your parking ahead of time. Please note that parking is tight at HMC, and we recommended that you take the Metro or Health Sciences shuttle from UWMC if at all possible.
In addition to your regularly scheduled student didactic sessions, you will have an additional lecture during your rotation, the “Taste and Tour Nutritional Seminar”, held the second Friday of each month, from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. in 5WH116. Please contact Kat Jong via email to confirm your attendance.
Students who thrive at Harborview see themselves as vital team members and act accordingly. They consistently place their patients' needs above other priorities. These essays reflect on the attitudes, values, and actions we value most highly. You will be busy during the rotation, but if you read one of these each week, you will understand our perspective better. Begin with Francis Peabody's essay, especially the section on "Student Opportunities in the Hospital."
If you have further questions please page or email us.
We look forward to working with you at Harborview.
