PLEASE READ – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Each day starts at 7:45 am — Please arrive on-time
  • Please make sure you demonstrate proper time management and professionalism
  • Whether you are taking this rotation as an ELECTIVE or as part of your CORE — be prepared to be challenged.  This is not a “fluff” rotation.
  • Students will be working directly with Dr. Athni – no upper-level, intern, or resident.
  • This rotation is not physically challenging, but rather cognitively challenging.
  • Get a good nights rest – and be prepared to demonstrate your intellect.

NOCG Education Center

  • Prior to the rotation, please log into https://edu.nocg.org which is our online educational portal
  • NOTE:  You will need to use your school email account to register — this portal ONLY allows .edu email accounts to register
  • To gain full access to the resources, you will be provided with an “enrollment key” by Dr. Athni when you make initial contact with him.
  • Once “registered” and “enrolled”, you will be able to access a handful of textbooks and various study material.
  • You will find a “Pre-Clinic Quiz”, which should be taken without studying.
  • The Pre-Clinic Quiz MUSt be completed BEFORE THE ROTATION STARTS – i.e BEFORE MONDAY MORNING
  • Starting the rotation without completing the pre-test is NOT the signs of a successful student!  A very BAD look!
