Submitted Question related to re-entry of medical students into the clinical learning environment
- During faculty communications related to the current pandemic the following question arose. If an on-call physician faculty member has the responsibility of calling back COVID test results to a number of individuals and one of those individual happens to be a medical student, is that faculty physician in this case now serving as the student’s health care provider and therefore disqualified from later assessing that student? In further clarification, note that the faculty member does not provide any further health care to that student other than notifying the student of the test results and (if positive) advising them to register with DoH and contact their primary practitioner or the ER for further instructions.
