ARC-PA 6th ed Standard A3.14j
The Department of PA Studies provides no financial assistance for housing during the clinical year and does not approve, inspect, or certify housing affiliated with SCPE or AHEC sites. Students are strongly discouraged from staying with preceptors as a housing option.
Students are responsible for arranging their SCPE accommodations during the clinical year. Some SCPE sites may provide student housing for a fee, and some NC AHEC regions make housing options available at the student’s own expense.
Students are encouraged to review the “Housing” section in the SCPE course on Blackboard for more information on potential housing. However, there is no guarantee that housing information will be provided.
While attending SCPEs as assigned, the student must have reliable transportation. Failure to attend a SCPE due to lack of transport is not an excused absence and will require the student to make up the missed time and may contribute to significant delays in completing the program.
The student is responsible for all housing and transportation expenses related to the SCPE location and mandatory callback day on-campus activities.
