6.4.1 TAC Hours per Term

Interns are allowed hours (T7 - 6; T8 - 24; T9 - 27; T10 - 30) of TAC per trimester; and these hours count toward the total hours’ requirement for the term. Interns are allowed TAC primarily for professional development – taking additional seminars and visiting with doctors for externship or associate opportunities. TAC also includes vacation and sick time. Students who miss clinic and have exhausted their TAC will forfeit 1:1 clinic hours to meet the minimum weekly requirement. Although unexpected and unexcused absences are recorded as TAC hours, an absence, which is deemed professionally inappropriate by the intern’s faculty clinician or college clinic and administration, may result in suspension, dismissal, or a failing grade for the internship.
