From time to time representatives of various groups such as drug companies, insurance companies, and recruiters from hospitals and anesthesia groups wish to have time to meet with MTSA students.

PROCEDURE:

Hospital or Anesthesia Groups:

As referring job placements is a student service, and as MTSA has a Senior Elective program whereby graduates will select a clinical site in which to complete this Senior Elective, MTSA believes that it should welcome representatives of Hospitals and Anesthesia groups to the campus and provide access to students. The following are to be the regulations governing these events:

  1. The event will be scheduled through the office of the Academic Schedule Coordinator.
  2. Priority will be given to recruiters who either have participated as senior elective sites, or are willing to develop senior elective sites for MTSA students.
  3. These events should not occur more than once per week, preferably no more than twice per month.
  4. These events will be held at lunch time, beginning around 12:00 p.m., and announced to students at least two weeks in advance. Recruiters will be asked to provide a lunch for students.
  5. Recruiters will be informed of the food and drink policy of MTSA (vegetarian and clean meats only, and no alcoholic beverages).
  6. Students not on clinical assignment will be able to go through the food line first, and the recruitment discussion can begin shortly thereafter. Those coming in from clinical can get food and join the discussion.
  7. Recruiters will be made aware that attendance is encouraged; however, it is voluntary on the part of the student.

Pharmaceutical/Equipment Company Representatives:

  1. Requests for visits from any Pharmaceutical Company Representatives will be forwarded to the pharmacology teacher, who will be involved in the approval and scheduling of such visits. These schedules will be coordinated through the Academic Schedule Coordinator.
  2. Requests from any Equipment Company Representative will be forwarded to the most appropriate Anesthesia Principles instructor for a decision regarding whether or not to allow the visit. These schedules will be coordinated through the Academic Schedule Coordinator.
  3. These representatives will be asked to provide a meal for students, the timing of which is more closely related to the time of the class of the instructor inviting the representative. These representatives will be informed of the food and drink policy of MTSA (vegetarian and clean meats only, and no alcoholic beverages).
  4. If the meal is to be a noon meal, refer to the policy above.
  5. If the meal is to be a dinner meal, the instructor can be involved in the timing and scheduling.
