How is Hurley handling Coronavirus-19 for its students?
Students must report temperature, symptoms daily
In the wake of the pandemic peaks, most of the student rotations have restarted at Hurley; however, some may have limitations due to staffing or equipment shortages. Because personal protective equipment (PPE) has become a sarce and expensive resource, PPE fees may be charged to student rotators.
When your rotation does begin at Hurley, you will be asked to report your symptoms and exposure daily to your home institution and to notify Hurley Medical Center of any positive exposure and/or symptoms. A Hurley pandemic infosheet, FAQs, and acknolwedgement signature-page gives the details and will be provided before your rotation begins.
At present, Hurley requires universal masking for anyone entering the building, which means you will need to wear a basic procedure mask when you are on the premises, except in instances when you are in your own private office or when you are eating. (When you are eating, please keep 6 feet between you and any others - and be sure to wipe down your eating area and chair, etc., before and after your meal.)
During the coronavirus pandemic - and in other instances of potential or actual infectious disease outbreaks, Academic Affairs at Hurley Medical Center follows the hospital's infection control policies and guidelines, which are based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other guidelines, and may change as the situation develops.
