****A vehicle is highly recommended for rural rotations. If you can borrow one it would be beneficial.
The Eastern Regional Medical Education Program [ERMEP] along with the Distributed Medical Education [DME] considers it unprofessional to cancel a rotation once a preceptor is confirmed. ERMEP considers it a breach of professionalism when the learner cancels without a valid reason less than four weeks from the start date of the rotation. ERMEP will then report this to the schools and ask that they deal with this as unprofessional behavior. It is important to recognize that preceptors are often very annoyed by late changes due to their scheduling requirements. Accommodation cancellations must be made through ERMEP a minimum of four weeks prior to placement start date. By submitting this application, I agree to abide by all of ERMEP policies and confirm that I have not applied to any other Networks. I understand that once the Eastern Regional Medical Education Program has contacted me with the name of a preceptor, it is unprofessional for me to cancel the rotation. I acknowledge that ERMEP will notify my school of any unprofessional behaviour.
