April 15, 2013 Policy ELECTIVES:

Attention: Please submit the “Away Elective Information Form” in your Oasis account for

all out-of-town, private practices and International tropical electives. This form should be completed & saved during or immediately upon completion of the above listed rotations. If, you

have any questions or need assistance regarding the form please contact your ETC or Ms. Angie Allen in Council on Evaluations at allenan@umkc.edu.

Keep in Mind: It is very important that you comply with the following request, in the past it

has been very problematic collecting performance evaluations for these electives, it was often not clear who a student actually worked with, excessive amounts of time had passed and if

there were satellite campuses/hospitals, we didn’t know which one our student attended. This will assure that you receive a fair & accurate rating and that UMKC SOM staff will be able to

obtain your final grade in a timely manner. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
