FIRST DAY
Clerkship orientation: Orientation is at
the UW at 8:00AM on the first day of your clerkship. The room
number is on the Didactics
page. Room information may change at
the end of each rotation, so be sure to check the table the
weekend before you begin.
After orientation: Report to Neurology &
Neurosurgery Associates in Puyallup. This site has clinics
in Tacoma and Puyallup, and students will spend time at both
clinics. See important information under mileage reimbursement
section below.
Equipment to bring: White coat and name
tag, reflex hammer, tuning fork (128Hz), stethoscope, (Ophthalmoscope
recommended).
TRAVEL & HOUSING
Mileage reimbursement: You will receive
mileage reimbursement for one roundtrip to and from Puyallup,
and for your trips back and forth to Seattle for weekly class
meetings. Contact GOWWAMI@dommail.dom.washington.edu
to arrange for reimbursement.
This site has two clinics: one in Tacoma
and one in Puyallup. Students will spend time at both clinics,
but will start in the Puyallup clinic. The clinics are 19
miles apart. Keep track of which site you are travelling from
on the days you come to Seattle for class meetings. The Puyallup
and Tacoma sites are not equal distance from Seattle, and
so your starting point is necessary in order to reimburse
you properly.
Housing: Students are housed in an apartment
or at an extended stay hotel in Tacoma, depending on space
availability. The clerkship coordinator will contact you with
details.
Driving directions to the Puyallup
clinic: Go south on I-5. Take the exit to
north I-405. Go 2 miles then exit south on highway 167 towards
Puyallup. Travel south 28 miles towards Puyallup. Exit on
highway 512 west bound. Exit at the Meridian Street exit,
turn left, and then left again on 14th Street. The clinic
is located across the street from Good Samaritan Hospital,
which is across the freeway from the Western Washington Puyallup
fair grounds.
