With this teaching agreement, I seek clinical adjunct faculty status within Des Moines University. I understand that with the acceptance of the agreement, I will assist in providing clinical training for the DMU students. In addition, I agree to follow the curriculum provided by DMU. I will also agree to review, monitor and provide comments for the revision of the DMU curriculum as needed. I understand my clinical adjunct faculty appointment will be reviewed every 3 years with the expectation I provide clinical training to DMU students 8 weeks annually, on average, during a 3-year period.
Upon the completion of each individual student rotation I will, within 14 days, fully complete and return to DMU a student rotation evaluation form. I also understand that a site and preceptor evaluation will be required from each student I train. I understand that this is only one part of the continual faculty evaluation process at DMU, and that I am also expected to contact DMU regarding current, past, or future students, its curriculum, or if I have questions and comments regarding grading or training procedures of the College.
I will review and comply with Des Moines University’s code of conduct, and will not discriminate against any student on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, age, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, veteran status, genetic information and other characteristics protected by law.
With this agreement, I affirm that I am duly licensed to practice medicine and am not currently nor have been sanctioned by any licensing board or excluded by Medicare/Medicaid. I have in effect current medical malpractice insurance, and have appropriate privileges to practice my specialty at an area hospital in the state where I reside. I will give immediate written notification to DMU of any changes in my practice status. I agree to provide DMU with at least 90 days written notice should I decide to voluntarily end this clinical faculty teaching agreement. This agreement may be terminated without cause at any time by DMU. I understand that I will provide availability for at least 3 students per year, and DMU will provide me in advance with a list of any changes in the approved student rotation schedule. I may, at my discretion, make needed changes in my availability for teaching by contacting DMU in writing prior to the change. I may refuse any student(s) by notifying the office of the Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs of DMU. This agreement in no way obligates DMU to provide any specific number of students to rotate with me during any given time period.
