Badge Information
Badges
- SCH badges will be valid for the duration of the medical student’s rotation and must be returned at the end of the rotation (see Returning Badges below).
- Medical students at SCH for multiple rotations will need to have their badge renewed for each rotation.
- Medical students are expected to wear their SCH issued badge at all times while on campus. The badge must be worn visibly and above the waist.
Badges Access
- Access is granted to employee doors, general access stairwells and locker rooms.
Badges and Social Media
- Posting or sharing a photo of the badge to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram makes it easy to duplicate the badge and create a security risk. Do not post photos of your badge on social media. Do not take photos of your badge.
Visitor’s Badge
- The visitor’s Badge issued at the entrance on the first day of the rotation does not permit the medical student to engage in patient care.
Lost or Forgotten Badges
- Lost badges must be reported immediately to the Graduate Medical Education Office to be issued a new badge. Medical students are not permitted to report their clinic duties with a Visitor’s Badge or Temporary, even one issued by an SCH Entrance Coordinator.
Returning Badges & Pagers
- The SCH GME Office requires that all medical students return their badges and pagers to the SCH GME Office at the end of each rotation.
- Badge access is terminated at midnight of the printed date on the front of each badge (generally 24 hours after a rotation ends).
- The GME Office will issue a new badge if/when you return for another rotation at SCH.
- The GME Office is staffed only for scheduled orientations and sign-ins.
- Please use the GME Office Badge/Pager Return drop box across from the Pelican elevators, just around the corner from the GME Office. DO NOT RETURN PAGERS OR BADGES TO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THIS DROP BOX.
