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
- The SCH GME Office requires that all medical students return their badges 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.
- Please use the GME Office Badge Return drop box across from the Pelican elevators, just around the corner from the GME Office. DO NOT RETURN BADGES TO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THIS DROP BOX.
