Hello,
Students are required to complete the survey sent on Monday. If you have already received the vaccination, just complete stating you are willing to take the vaccination. Students were prioritized by settings, then an additional 7 slots selected via a randomizer. I am trying to find more options for those desiring the shot before clinicals start. Walgreens has just announced they are taking appointments through their Walgreens app. You should qualify as health students. I encourage you to look into this option as well. If a student selected for the 23rd obtains an appointment elsewhere, please notify me as they are counting our slots in their allocations.

Importance: High
Hello,
The Clinical Ed Team is preparing for your upcoming Terminal Clinical Experiences. Your in-person CPR is scheduled for February 20th, Saturday, in the morning. Please refer to the emails from Mrs. Shewmaker with details on arrival time and payment needed. Inprocessing will begin to accelerate over the next few weeks so respond to any emails from your clinical assignment or Mrs. Shewmaker in a timely manner. We will host a WebEx soon on clinical prep.
The main reason for this email is to discuss the right of clinical sites to require students who complete clinicals at their facilities to take the COVID-19 vaccination. As discussed previously, this vaccination is being treated as any other requirement for our program and CPHS. If your site requires the vaccine but you are unwilling to take it, you cannot proceed to that clinical assignment. This decision may result in delayed graduation. Currently only a few clinical partners are requiring the vaccination. I have already reached out to impacted students with these expectations for their DPT 802 placements. However, more sites may add the requirement as your clinical start date gets closer. By the time DPT 804 nears, it may be a widespread expectation.
After our previous clinical ed meeting about the vaccine, several students reached out to me about their concerns related to taking the vaccination if required. I asked these students to research the vaccine from reputable EBM sites. I have also heard from students ready to take it today if available. Our challenge is that supply currently does not meet demand. CPHS has a COVID-19 Task Force working to obtain vaccinations for our students and they are aware of your concerns.
Now for the most urgent items.
I have been able to reserve 10 spots for COVID-19 vaccinations on February 23rd. These will be offered first to the students who are assigned to sites requiring it. The next group of available slots will be offered to students with placements at the highest risk facilities. Any slots then remaining will go into a lottery draw event. I will continue to make inquiries at local health departments to obtain additional available vaccinations for our students. If you want to attempt to schedule an appointment for yourself, one possible resource is at: https://neighborhealthcenter.org/ . This private clinic is offering vaccinations at The Summit Church - Blue Ridge Campus located at 3249 Blue Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612. I can provide a letter stating you are a healthcare student scheduled for clinicals this spring. One of our pediatric partners used them and obtained vaccinations recently.
I will reach out to the priority students today with instructions. In order to proceed with the lottery draw and submit all required information to secure the offered vaccinations, I am also sending the following Qualtrics. All students should complete the survey to indicate their willingness to take the vaccine if offered. All willing to take the vaccine need to provide DOB, local address, phone, and health conditions on the survey. If you indicate that you are unwilling to take the vaccine if required, skip the demographics section. Note that no current extra clinical slots are available thus a decision to decline the vaccine if required will impact your progression. I will schedule an individual meeting with you to discuss the potential impact on graduation.
Please know that our goal is to help you successfully meet and exceed clinical performance expectations and reach a timely graduation. Complete the following Qualtrics by tomorrow at 8:00 please so I can secure the vaccination slots offered.

November 9th update
Dear Students,
This second year of your DPT education is quickly coming to an end. The Clinical Education Team is busy monitoring your assignments for DPT 802 and 804, inprocessing the first year students for DPT 800 starting, in January, and finalizing the APPROVE program through Exxat for testing and records review . Thank you all for your patience as we started our new program and created your database for compliance needs. If you receive any requests from Mrs. Shewmaker, please respond as timely and accurately as possible to avoid delays. You will soon complete your CBC and drug tests. Mrs. Shewmaker will send an email along with instructions. Reference the student instructions and process the testing within required dates.
If you are watching the news or following social media, you are aware that COVID-19 cases are increasing in many areas. Dr. Adams, the Dean of CPHS, sent an email advising students about travel over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and its potential impact on proceeding to clinicals. Although you are not returning to campus after the holiday for exams, this same safety precaution must be considered related to starting DPT 802 next year. Each clinical partner has COVID-19 plans in place for students which will be updated well in advance of April clinicals. You will receive individual notices of clinic policies next spring.
Stay healthy and safe.
Dr. Shearin

Class of 2021,
We understand there is confusion on the new Exxat process to upload documents and confusion on associated due dates. This is the time to capture a database of your documents. Our immediate goal is for you to upload what records you have currently. We will adjust due dates in the Exxat system over the next couple of months as we require new certifications and tests. This is the only way to capture requirements that change as you progress from 2nd year to 3rd year students. All dates must meet clinical prep and compliance needs. Your patience is greatly appreciated as we move forward!
Below is a detailed description for each document or test requested and exact "current" due dates. Please read the entire message and follow instructions carefully.

Good Morning!
A few updates from the Clinical Education Team:
* Flu shots are due October 2nd
* We have received an email from a classmate asking about uploading your flu shots into Exxat. Please hold onto your proof of vaccination until the new portal is available in Exxat for your medical records.
* Exxat has your required records but has not yet completed the portal.
* DPT 802 & 804
* Ms. Shewmaker is finalizing the remaining slot requests and has been communicating with individual students on status of assignment.
* If a change occurs with your placement, you will be notified to begin the search for an alternate slot
* Future training needs
* Later in the fall you will receive a link for the annual HIPAA and BBP training. This is done online.
* CPR: we are evaluating the most practical method for achieving compliance with CPR training while large group events are not allowed.
* Good news:
* We are thankful that labs are progressing which allows us to stay on track for attending clinicals.
* Most clinics are back in business with primarily in-person treatments.
Thank you all for your flexibility!
