ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

Listed here is everything you need for enrollment requirements. For more detailed information please visit the Enrollment Requirements page.

EXTRACURRICULAR CLINICAL & RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Extracurricular Clinical Activity Forms and Extracurricular Research Activity Forms are required for any clinical or research activities that take place outside of the curriculum, such as shadowing, health fairs, or research that is NOT FIRE.  Forms must be submitted and approved PRIOR to the activity occurring.  Forms will not be approved retroactively.

Extracurricular Clinical Activity Form

This form is used for anything with a clinical component (such as volunteering at a free clinic).  In order for the student to be covered by liability insurance, the signature or approval of a UCF College of Medicine faculty member (core/adjunct/volunteer) must accompany the form.  If it is an international clinical activity, students must register their travel with UCF Global.

Extracurricular Research Activity Form

This form is used for research OTHER THAN FIRE.  This does not apply to literature reviews.  If the student is just submitting or finishing up a manuscript or other publication from research at a previous institution, a copy of the IRB approval letter must accompany this form.

For any questions, please contact the Office of Student Affairs.
