We welcome student participation, however student spaces are limited and students may be restricted in their involvement with direct patient care. The criteria for student participation also varies by discipline. Follow the instructions below to determine if you should select a "Student" Profession/Classification. Otherwise, use the classification "General Support" (this is also what pre-health majors should select.)
When reviewing the list of assignments, if you see the term “Waiting List” next to an assignment name that means it is currently full. In this case you have 3 options:
1. Choose a different assignment.
2. Choose that assignment and be put on a wait list. If you are only on the wait list, you are not scheduled to participate unless an opening* occurs.
3. Choose that assignment and be put on a wait list. Then select an alternate assignment. In this case you are scheduled for the alternate assignment unless an opening* occurs for your wait-listed assignment.
*If an opening becomes available in your wait list assignment and you are moved into it, you will receive an email notice of this change and any alternate assignment will be canceled.
If you do not see an anticipated assignment in the list, it likely means both the assignment and waiting list are currently full.
If you select an assignment that includes "As Assigned" in the name, organizers will assign/place you where they need you most in advance of the event or onsite during the event. If done in advance of the event, you will receive an email notification showing a change to your assignment/schedule.
Healthcare professionals and students willing to help on set up and take down days may not see their professional assignment (i.e. Nursing, Social Work) listed on those days as no patients will be present. Instead, they should select a General Support (G) or other listed assignment that is involved with set up and take down.
