Please make note of the SUNet ID that is created when accepting participation in the elective clerkship. It also establishes students' Stanford University email address (i.e., SUNetID@stanford.edu). Students may receive email messages sent to their Stanford email address to prepare for the clerkship. Students should check their Stanford email frequently to ensure important information is not missed.

Students will need their SUNet ID or Stanford email address in order to:

• Access the wireless network while on campus
• Log into Axess, Stanford's online platform for university business. For visiting students, this may to be register and complete trainings like HIPAA.
  
• Log into Stanford email
  

Note: After the SUNet ID is created, it may take up to 24-48 hours for it to be fully activated for students to access their Stanford email. 

Once the SUNet ID is created and active, email notifications will be sent to the student's Stanford email address. One of the notices will provide instructions for completing Stanford's HIPAA/Protecting Patient Privacy online training. The Stanford University Privacy Office requires all members of the University to complete the training.

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.

For clerkships that take place in SHC (Stanford Health Care), an email will be sent to students' Stanford email address prior to the clerkship start date. The email will provide the students' S-ID and instructions on receiving login information to access the EPIC system for patient records in SHC. 

For clerkships that take place at LPCH (Lucile Packard Children's Hospital), students should follow the instructions provided in the onboarding dashboard. The link to the dashboard will be sent to students after they accept the scheduled clerkship.  

Per Stanford University policy, visiting medical students are not granted remote access to patient data. Students will complete the process for gaining access to the Epic system when they are physically located at SHC or LPCH and connected to the hospital's network. See IVS - While at Stanford for more details.

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

Students will receive instructions for completing scrub training if applicable.

Students will be asked to complete Scrub and Sterile Procedure Training and complete a knowledge and skills assessment. This involves watching a mandatory training video and completing a test before they arrive on campus. If students have undergone scrub training at their home institution, they will still be required to view the video and take the knowledge test. A scrub training attestation form will be provided. If students have not been scrub trained, they will be required to complete scrub training at Stanford on the first day of their clerkship.

More information from surgeryclerkship@stanford.edu will be sent to students prior to their start date. Any questions can be addressed to surgeryclerkship@stanford.edu.
