Clinic Terms

Additional conditions for Clinics using MedicalRotations

Last updated: May 2026

Terms of ServiceClinic Terms

1. Scope

This section applies exclusively to Clinics, medical organizations, or institutions that publish, offer, manage, or supervise clinical rotations or programs through MedicalRotations.

These terms supplement the general Terms of Service and do not replace them.

2. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

The Clinic represents and warrants that it:

  • Holds all required licenses, permits, and accreditations
  • Complies with local, state, and federal regulations
  • Provides a safe and legal clinical environment
  • Complies with HIPAA, OSHA, and other applicable standards
  • Properly trains professionals and supervisors

Patient Consent for Student Presence

The Clinic acknowledges that allowing a Student to observe an encounter between a provider and a patient may require the patient's authorization under applicable HIPAA rules and facility policies. The Clinic is responsible for determining when authorization is required at its site (taking into account, for example, its status as a covered entity, any health-care-operations exception applicable to a teaching environment, and its own privacy policies), and for ensuring that the supervising clinician introduces the Student to each patient as a student observer (and not as a treating provider) and obtains the appropriate consent before the Student is permitted to be present during any examination, procedure, or care episode.

Minimum Necessary PHI

The Clinic and its supervising clinicians agree to minimize the Protected Health Information (PHI) provided or exposed to the Student to what is reasonably necessary for the educational purpose of the rotation.

The Clinic is fully responsible for regulatory compliance.

3. Program Listings

Clinics must provide accurate and updated information, including:

  • Rotation descriptions
  • Requirements
  • Available slots
  • Location
  • Schedules
  • Medical and academic prerequisites
  • Cancellation policies
  • Required documentation

False or concealed information may result in suspension or termination.

4. Supervision and Clinical Environment

Clinics are responsible for:

  • Assigning qualified supervisors
  • Ensuring Students do not perform activities beyond training level
  • Providing initial orientation
  • Establishing clear expectations
  • Immediately reporting incidents to MedicalRotations

Supervising Clinician Responsibilities

The Clinic ensures that each Student is assigned to a designated supervising clinician or employee (the "Supervisor") who is an active member of the Clinic's staff and who agrees to assume direct, ongoing supervision of the Student during the rotation. The Supervisor is expected to:

  • Conduct a short orientation session with the Student covering site-specific expectations, scope of permitted activity, dress code, badge use, and emergency procedures.
  • Remain responsible for the Student at all times while the Student is at the Clinic. If the Supervisor must step away, an alternate qualified person, designated in advance, must take over supervision; otherwise the Student must pause participation.
  • Notify the relevant clinic, department, or floor manager (or the house supervisor, as applicable) of the Student's presence and the dates the Student will be on site.
  • Remind the Student of their HIPAA and confidentiality obligations at the start of the rotation and as needed thereafter.
  • Introduce the Student to patients as a student observer (and not as a treating provider) and obtain patient consent before the Student is present during an examination, procedure, or care episode.
  • Ensure that the Student does not engage in activities outside the Student's authorized scope of practice and training level, and that the Student is never represented as a licensed clinician.
  • Immediately terminate or pause the rotation if the Student engages in conduct that endangers patient care, breaches confidentiality, or violates Clinic policy, and report such events to MedicalRotations.

The Clinic acknowledges that MedicalRotations does not provide medical personnel or supervisors, does not select Supervisors, and does not certify the qualifications of any Supervisor. Sponsorship and supervision of the Student are exclusively the Clinic's responsibility.

5. Interaction with Students

Clinics agree that:

  • Students are not employees of MedicalRotations
  • Students cannot be required to perform paid work
  • Students cannot be assigned tasks outside educational scope
  • Additional compensation cannot be requested outside the Platform
  • Communication must follow professional standards

Sponsorship Acknowledgment

By accepting a Student for a rotation, the Clinic and its Supervisor confirm that:

  • They have voluntarily offered the Student the opportunity to participate in a rotation or observer experience at the Clinic, under the Supervisor's mentorship and direct supervision.
  • The experience is unpaid and unfunded for the Student. Its primary purpose is educational — to enhance the Student's insight into and understanding of healthcare career pathways and clinical practice.
  • Participation must be conducted in a manner that does not compromise or interfere with patient care, and confidentiality must be maintained at all times.
  • Within an observational scope, the Student will have no unsupervised, hands-on patient contact and will not be responsible for patient care activities. Any hands-on activity that is permitted must remain within the Student's authorized scope of training and within the Clinic's and the Supervisor's express authorization.
  • The Student will dress in professional attire at all times while under the Supervisor's direction, and the Clinic will enforce its applicable dress, identification, and conduct policies.
  • The Student must not be allowed to hold themselves out — by attire, identification, or representation — as a licensed medical professional.

Site, Schedule, and Manager Notification

  • The Student's participation is restricted to the sites, units, and shifts that the Clinic has approved for that rotation.
  • The Supervisor will inform the relevant clinic, department, floor, or house supervisor of the Student's presence and the rotation dates, so that the Student is properly accounted for on site.
  • The Clinic will furnish, where applicable, identification badges, parking permits, and access credentials, and is entitled to recover those items at the end of the rotation in accordance with its own internal policies.

Contact outside the Platform to avoid fees is strictly prohibited.

6. Program Cancellations and Changes

Clinics may have their own policies provided they:

  • Are clearly published
  • Are reasonable
  • Do not conflict with MedicalRotations' general Terms

Additionally:

  • Late cancellations may create liability toward Students
  • Unjustified cancellations may lead to suspension
  • Schedule changes must be notified reasonably in advance

7. Student Safety

The Clinic must:

  • Provide a reasonably safe environment
  • Inform Students of inherent risks
  • Establish emergency protocols
  • Notify MedicalRotations of any health or safety incidents

Incident and Exposure Reporting

The Clinic will apply its own incident-reporting protocols to Students participating in a rotation and ensure that the Supervisor is familiar with them. At a minimum, the Clinic will provide instructions and assistance for:

  • Injury, needle-stick, or blood/body-fluid exposure reporting and post-exposure follow-up
  • General accident or incident reporting within the facility
  • Harassment, discrimination, or other concerns raised by the Student in the learning environment

The Clinic agrees to inform MedicalRotations of any incident involving a Student that results in injury, exposure, regulatory reporting, or early termination of the rotation, within a reasonable time after the incident becomes known.

Pre-Rotation Health and Documentation Verification

Where the Clinic requires immunization records, TB testing, respirator fit testing, background checks, or similar documentation as a precondition to the rotation, the Clinic is responsible for defining its own standards, communicating them to the Student in advance, and verifying compliance before the Student begins on-site activity. MedicalRotations does not independently verify, certify, or vouch for the medical or background-check status of Students beyond making documents submitted through the Platform available to the Clinic.

MedicalRotations is not responsible for clinical injuries or accidents.

8. Payments via Stripe Connect

To receive payments, Clinics must:

  • Complete Stripe Connect onboarding
  • Provide accurate tax and banking information
  • Maintain updated financial profiles

Funds are distributed:

  • Only through Stripe Connect
  • In accordance with marketplace fee structures
  • After applicable charges and costs

The Clinic acknowledges MedicalRotations is a technological intermediary, not a financial institution.

9. Prohibition of Circumvention

Clinics may NOT:

  • Accept direct payments from Students to avoid fees
  • Contact Students outside the Platform to negotiate pricing
  • Offer discounts in exchange for bypassing MedicalRotations
  • Promote off-platform transactions

Violations may result in:

  • Immediate suspension
  • Account deletion
  • Retention of pending payments
  • Legal action

10. Reporting and Cooperation

Clinics must:

  • Cooperate with internal investigations
  • Respond to incidents, complaints, or disputes
  • Provide documents when necessary

11. Clinic Responsibility

Clinics are responsible for:

  • Their supervisors and staff
  • Their facilities
  • Posted content
  • Program quality and safety
  • Staff conduct toward Students

MedicalRotations is not responsible for clinical negligence.
