Pregnancy

A student who becomes pregnant at any time during the program should declare the fact to the program director as soon as possible. During the course of clinical rotations, students may come in contact with procedures that require radiation. Other types of exposure such as cement fumes and anesthesia gases may interfere with pregnancy. It is critical that any students who are trying to become pregnant or who are currently pregnant tell the program director immediately. Once declared, the program director will counsel the student and then present options regarding the best options for program completion.
