12 Advising Acknowledgement Form: Clinical or Internship Expectations The AEMT Program will include clinical rotations as well as internship rotations as a part of the certificate program. Those clinicals and internships will be offered in the same semester as the lecture / labs and some will require that the clinical / internship is completed the same semester. The clinical / internship component for the AEMT Program requires that students have the required pre-requisites background investigation, drug screening, and shot records completed by established due dates. Students that do not have those pre-requisites completed by the due date will be dropped from the clinical / internship class. This action may result in the student having to repeat the certificate. Pre-requisite requirements can be found at: Students enrolled in the clinical / internship portion of one of the above certificate programs will be notified of the dates, times, and location of their clinical / internship. Students do not get to select the schedule or the location of their clinical / internship. Students must be available for the times selected for their clinical / internship as designated by the clinical / internship instructor anytime during the dates scheduled for the clinical / internship during the semester. Students should also anticipate having to travel up to an 80+ mile radius from Greeley to attend a clinical site. Students that do not attend the clinical / internship on the times and dates as assigned will be dropped from class or receive an "F" grade. Delaying a clinical / internship may result in the student having to retake the lecture / lab components of the certificate in order to qualify to complete the clinical / internship component of the certificate.
