If you will be participating in a clerkship that takes place in Stanford Hospital and/or Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, instructions for picking up your Stanford Medicine photo ID badge will be sent to your Stanford email address from the Office of Medical Student Affairs. Badges are not distributed before the first day of clerkships. If you have made arrangements to start your clerkship on a different day than what was listed on your acceptance notification, please contact your clerkship coordinator for badge pick up instructions.

Any other non-Stanford Medicine security badge information will be provided by the clerkship coordinator.

If you are participating in a clerkship that takes place in Stanford Hospital and/or Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, the COVID-19 vaccine status stickers are part of Stanford Medicine’s vaccination requirement program. After obtaining your Stanford Medicine photo ID badge, follow the instructions provided by the Office of Medical Student Affairs and visit the sticker distribution kiosk. 

If you requested a Campus Card (different from the Stanford Medicine hospital photo ID badge), follow the instructions on the Campus Card Services website to obtain your card.

For specific clerkships, if you have not been scrub trained, you will be required to complete scrub training at Stanford on the first day of your clerkship. Instructions for completing scrub training, if applicable, should have been received 3-4 weeks prior to the clerkship start date. Any questions can be sent to surgeryclerkship@stanford.edu.

Per Stanford University policy, visiting medical students are not granted remote access to patient data. Therefore, while on the SHC or LPCH premises, after you're connected to the network, you can call for your temporary password. SHC EPIC and LPCH EPIC systems are accessed separately.  For detailed instructions, refer to the on-boarding information that was sent to your Stanford email address from the Office of Medical Student Affairs prior to the clerkship start date. When you're physically located at the hospital and able to connect to the network, you will call the provided phone number(s) to request your username and password. For LPCH, it is strongly recommended that you use specific wording, such as, "I am a Stanford medical student and I need my username and password."  Be prepared to give them an identifier, such as the last four digits of your SSN. 

After you receive your username/S-ID and password, you will be able to log on to the EPIC system.  Enter your S-ID followed by @enterprise.stanfordmed.org in the Enterprise ID field.

Clerkship coordinators will send information regarding other clerkship site access as needed.

Should a student experience a needle stick, they are advised to call the Needlestick Hotline regardless of where the incident occurs. If immediate emergency medical treatment is deemed necessary (sutures, x-ray, etc.), the hotline practitioner will work cooperatively with the student to decide where to have these done. Most exposures do not need to be seen in the Emergency Department. If post-exposure prophylactic medication is necessary, the hotline practitioner will encourage the student to be seen by a physician in Employee Health at 484 Oak Road. The hotline practitioner and student will work with the hospital personnel to attain source patient blood for testing.
