ROTATION AT OTHER INSTITUTION (RaOI)

“Rotation at Other Institution” describes time spent in structured training programs at institutions other than the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. All RaOIs must be pre-approved by the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. For approval, a proposal must meet the following criteria: a.

The rotation will occur at an institution which grants degrees or an affiliate of such an institution.

b.

RaOIs should provide experiences that are not available within the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine or augment existing rotations.

c.

A description of the outside rotation must be provided by the student.

d.

Students should be supervised by a veterinarian or other professional during their rotation.

e.

The college will need written verification that the student has been accepted into the proposed program and the dates they will be there.

f.

Students will be expected to get a written assessment from individuals supervising their training that they have successfully met the learning objectives of that rotation.

g.

Students requesting rotations similar to those offered at the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine will participate in our rotations prior to going to rotations at outside institutions which supplement/repeat what we offer.

Students must provide a completed “Rotation at Other Institution” form and the appropriate documentation. If the student’s file is not approved nine (9) weeks prior to the beginning of the RaOI rotation, the student will not receive credit for that particular rotation and the rotation must be repeated at the beginning of the following school year. rev 2/28/2018
